Cheap Reward
Feel so loose tonight, I might fall to pieces
Be prepared to sweep me out the door
Now I might be horizontal by time the music ceases
Yes, I get acquainted with the floor
Well, I been trying to get away from things I always do
Hello, floorboard, once again and how are you
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
All the signs point on this road, they point one way
Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes
Now I'll turn the light out, 'cause there's nothing to see
It's all been lost before, so there's nothing to lose
Oh, but you could say that you love me so painlessly
I woulda done the same for you, but you said to me
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
Be prepared to sweep me out the door
Now I might be horizontal by time the music ceases
Yes, I get acquainted with the floor
Well, I been trying to get away from things I always do
Hello, floorboard, once again and how are you
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
All the signs point on this road, they point one way
Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes
Now I'll turn the light out, 'cause there's nothing to see
It's all been lost before, so there's nothing to lose
Oh, but you could say that you love me so painlessly
I woulda done the same for you, but you said to me
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
