Dues

(album: Born To Die - 1976)

I think I'm headed for a terrible accident.
Made more plans than anyone who ever paid their rent.
I'm not stupid and I might be having too much pride.
Surgeon general has determined that I may as well die.

Jesus are you watching or have you gone blind.
Evil souls are upon us and we're surely running out of time.

[CHORUS]
I tried religion and some holy roller steals my tenth.
In the grave yard I ain't strong enough to jump the fence.
Some men they say they got more soul than both my shoes.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop paying dues.

I might be working on a scene that I can never act.
Everybody's gonna think that my mind is cracked.
I don't care because it's my right to win or lose.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop paying dues.

Crazy, am I crazy for wanting so much more.
My mind says I can't ever give up but I still can't be sure.

[CHORUS]

Can we ever stop paying dues.
Can we ever stop paying dues.
Can we ever stop paying dues.
