Lyrics
WELL PAID
Verse:
I was born to a family of the unemployed,
We never had much luck.
My mama told me when she was annoyed,
"Boy, You'd better make the bucks!"
Life's a bitch, so you're better off rich.
You can lead a life of ease, or be digging a ditch.
Your friends will love you or just leave you alone.
If you don't learn the lesson, then you'll have to be shown!
CHORUS: WELL PAID!
WELL PAID!
You haven't made it till you're well paid.
The rich and famous have it made in the shade,
You know you've made it when you're....well paid
Verse:
There's only one thing that rules the world,
And that's....MONEY HONEY!
If you want to go with the people in the know,
You gotta have the dough!
We all want it!
We all need it!
You've got to have it!
You'd best believe it!
Your friends will love you or just leave you alone.
Well I got mine, now you get your own!
CHORUS: WELL PAID!
WELL PAID!
You haven't made it till you're well paid!
The rich and famous have it made in the shade.
You know you've made it when you're....well paid!
Bridge:
Some say that money's not important,
The best things in life are free.
But please excuse me for a minute,
I've got a long legged blonde,
That wants to be alone with me....
CHORUS & OUT
