Way Too Long
Nobody's been comin' round your way
Have you been hearing what they say?
They were your buddies yesterday
But you took too long to pay
Have you heard the latest news
About a cat that got slapped and bashed and bruised
Yeah, I wouldn't wanna be in his shoes
Now the kid's got fuck all to lose
Broken friendships too hard to mention
Gone round the bend shit
Owe me and lend shit
As we step from old to new
And you know we always want to change the things that we do
All them kids who were your mates
You've left them sitting on their hate
When you're asleep or you're awake
You cannot hide from your mistake
As he checks the fresh tick list
Get my fuckin' money or you get my fuckin' fist
Personality switchin' twitchin'
Like the girls on the Springer show bitchin'
Boy's in major shit now
Hasn't even got a little bit now
Cuz he was out on the town
Knockin' drinks down
Sniffin' all his money
And throwin' it around
Nobody's been comin' round your way
Have you been hearing what they say?
They were your buddies yesterday
But you took way too long to pay
All the kids who were your mates
You've left them sitting on their hate
When you're asleep or you're awake
You cannot hide from your mistake
Have you seen where Stevie's been?
Well, I've seen him round the way
If you know what i mean
Where?
Well, he was at the club last night
Drinkin' with a girl and she looked to be alright
What the fuck is he doin'?
Spending all my money on a girl now I'm screwin'
I only ticked him for a favour
And he pays me back with that kinda behaviour?
And that just seems to be the way things go down
Twist enjoyance to the point of no return
Let's get paid and tunes get played
So then, that just seems to be the way things go down
Twist enjoyance to the point of no return
Let's get paid and tunes get played
So then, that just seems to be the way things go down
Twist enjoyance to the point of no return
Let's get paid the tunes get played
Have you been hearing what they say?

But you took too long to pay

About a cat that got slapped and bashed and bruised
