The Pay Off Lyrics

The world is full of people capable of things

you'd think nobody should be capable of

They'll break your heart and that's just a start

They'll cut you and laugh at the scars

They'll make you pay for it in blood

But you don't let that get you down.

Yeah, you stick out your neck for this cut throat town

So what's it mean, you made the scene

You got yourself so squeaky clean

You're ready to take one for the team

Another star that wants to shine twice as bright for half the time

Who's place are you holding in line

Sometimes you just have to wait for your turn to come around

Sometimes you've got to kill to get your crown

No matter what you do it might not pay off for you

If the pay off is all you're really in it for

Do you build a house to have a home

Do you earn your cash to pay a loan

They'll break your bank and let's be frank

They'll leave you floating in the tank

They'll put you back in file and rank

But you don't let that get you down

Yeah you stick out your neck for this cutthroat town

And no matter what you do it might not pay off for you

If the pay off is all your really in it for

Yeah, no matter what you do it might never pay off for you

If the pay off is all your really in it for
