The Cost

Self-destruction is high in demand
Unrestricted living in an excessive land
And can anybody tell you what to do
Or you got the keys in your hand
You get what you pay for - bottom line
Speak of the devil and he'll show you a sign
And it's every man for himself in this land
And i see Millions of faces
A million more schemes
Is that all it is, is it not what it seems
I see Millions of faces
A million more schemes
Is that all it is, is it not what it seems
I said don't get me started
It's just what you wanted
Get paid you're broke you're back to where you started
Well, it's alright if you're lying in a cold sweat tonight
It's another cost of living in paradise
I remember when it was legal to have cans in the sand
And all the heathens getting out of hand
Nobody could tell them what to do for one night, a one night stand
You can get it if you really want it
It's in reach
Take it through town burn it down on the beach and it's
Every man for himself in this land
And i see Millions of faces
A million more schemes
Is that all it is, is it not what it seems
I see Millions of faces
A million more schemes
Is that all it is, is it not what it seems
I said Don't get me started
It's just what you wanted
Get paid you're broke you're back to where you started
But it's alright if you're lying in a cold sweat tonight
It's just another cost of living in paradise

At the mercy of supply and demand
Can only shake the link in the chain of command
And while you collect all your cans
You take your cares and bury 'em in the sand
I got no plans - just want to get stoned and play with the band
And it's Every man for himself in this land
And i see millions of faces
A million more schemes
Is that all it is, is it not what it seems
I see millions of faces
A million more schemes
Is that all it is, is it not what it seems
I said don't get me started it's just what you wanted
Get paid you're broke you're back to where you started
Well, It's alright if you just can't sleep tonight
It's just another cost of living in paradise
