Someone's Gonna Have To Pay

(album: Sharks - 2002)

American beauty
Came up and spoke
She touched her toes
And we shared a joke
Taxi's, limos
Power boat glides
Jet skies, mensa
Babes without a ride

You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of God's good days
Can you hear me
Someone's gonna have to pay

Moonshot, rockets
Nineteen sixties cool
Sonny Boy Williamson
Pope John Paul
The Congo to Vietnam
The Beatles to the Stones
Is nobody left
Who's gonna shake those bones?

You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of God's good days
Can you hear me
Someone's gonna have to pay

Pay all the time

All of the misfits
All of the scars
All of life's promises
Bottled in jars
There's a hum and a howl
Lovers on the run
Tell me what's on offer
From the government scum

Rats will get richer
And the dirt beg for more
Crumbs on the table
For the world of the poor
News of self worship
Fresh from Hollywood
The pygmies of poison
Don't know bad from good

You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of God's good days
Can you hear me
Someone's gonna have to pay

Oh that's pay all the time
Someones got to pay

You ain't walking
You ain't talking
You got to pay

While I'm looking over your shoulder
You got to pay
