[Intro]
Woo-ooh
[Verse 1]
Keep on working for your pension
Bite your fingers till they bleed
You may snap with all this tension
Strain your back until you're free
Working and sleeping
And working and sleeping
And working again
Nevertheless
The combination of greed and complaisance pays for your rent
[Pre-Chorus]
So, God save the King
Charlie's gonna send you a card
Only if you keep working hard
[Chorus]
I think you need a break from this life
You're swimming in the deep end
Don't let a single day pass you by
Why you living for the weekend?
Just know that, if your card gets declined
You're gonna have a weight on your mind
So, if there's nothing else convincing you to stay
Then you better get paid
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, woo-ooh
"Ah, mate, I tell ya"
[Verse 2]
(Er-erm) Mark is unnervingly polite but very capably violent (Er-erm, hoo)
That man can wear a smile but secretly he suffers in silence, ah
That lady on the tram has nothing left to lose but her liver (Hoo)
She'll take about a gram of anything her dealer can give her, he delivers
[Pre-Chorus]
I've got no patience
No chit-chat (Oh), save your conversation (Oh)
Minimum wages, and I'm on hiatus
Touring in my beat-up trainers
I don't give a fuck about your status
Honestly, I've been doing this for ages
Just tell me where the stage is
And I'll do my thing
[Chorus]
I think you need a break from this life
You're swimming in the deep end
Don't let a single day pass you by
Why you living for the weekend?
Just know that, if your card gets declined
You're gonna have a weight on your mind
So, if there's nothing else convincing you to stay
Then you better get paid
[Bridge]
Hey, oh
Ta-bi-di, ba-di-bi-bop, bada
Da, da, ba, da, da (Ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ba, ba, ba)
Well, then you better get paid
"Alright"
Ta-ta-ta-ta, bo, da-da, bo, bo, bo, uh-da-da
Woo
"All done"
[Chorus]
I think you need a break from this life (Woo)
You're swimming in the deep end
Don't let a single day pass you by
Why you living for the weekend?
Just know that, if your card gets declined
You're gonna have a weight on your mind
So, if there's nothing else convincing you to stay
Well, then you better get paid
[Outro]
(Ha, ha, ha)
Well, then you better get paid (Show me the money, show me the money, oh)
They say, "You better get—"
Give me the, give me the, give me the, give me the, give me the big coin (Ha-ha-ha, darling, you better get paid)
(Give is my money, give me some money, woo, I need my money, where's my money?)
That's it
