lyrics
Father can't afford the bills,
The stress is making us all ill,
I don't know how this came to be,
He works every hour I can see,
It makes no sense, makes no sense,
and I just can't sit on the fence.
Bills to pay,
Lord, bills to pay.
The wealth that's flaunted on TV,
Turns my stomach, makes me scream,
Kick a ball and make a grand,
Their heads are buried in the sand,
All the while we're on our knees,
The wealth and riches taunt and tease.
Bills to pay,
Lord, bills to pay.
The prices just keep going up,
To fill the shareholders cup,
They say it's out of their control,
I guess record profits take their toll,
Surely they wouldn't take the piss?
Whilst people crumble, families split.
Bills to pay,
Lord, bills to pay.
Bills to pay,
Lord, bills to pay.
