Waiting to Get Paid

I've got no money, I barely ever have a dime

It used to be funny, but now I feel it in my spine

I slip into quicksand, I'm buried right up to my head

This wasn't what I planned, am I alive, asleep, or dead?

Waiting to get paid

Lying in the bed I made

Did I make the grade?

And then I'll die

I found some loose change, I take it to go buy some beer

The clerk looks at me strange, how the hell'd I end up here?

Waiting to get paid

Lying in the bed I made

Did I make the grade?

Well, then I'll die

Waiting to get paid

Lying in the bed I made

Did I make the grade?

Well, then I'll die

You and I can't change

You and I can't change

You and I can't change

You

Waiting to get paid

Whoa, lying in the bed I made

Did I make the grade?

Well, then I'll die

Waiting to get paid

Lying in the bed I made

Did I make the grade?

Well, then I'll die
