Clawfinger - Pay the Bill

can't complain, I've made myself a name
And all I really want is five minutes of fame,
Some material wealth and a life in good health
Cos all I really care about is myself.
I don't know a single thing about the situation
But why should I care about the next generation?
I've got everything I need but I still want more,
I can't understand why you complain cos you're poor,
I don't feel sorry for you we've got the same possibilities
It's all about taking your own responsibility.
I took mine so I deserve what I got,
I've got my name on the wall of fame I'm going straight to the top.
It cost me a lot of money but I took my degree
And that's the biggest difference between you and me.
There's not a thing in the world that my money can't buy,
I can't understand why you didn't even try.

So why complain, I feel no shame, I've used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill.
So why complain, I feel no shame, I've used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill.

You can't blame me because you're underfed,
You should be glad that you've got a roof over your head.
If you worked for a living you could pay your rent,
Instead of begging me for help when all you're money's spent.
You won't ever fool me because I know your type,
I see you standing on the corner like a parasite.
You're a loser and you know it but you don't even care,
I can't understand why you say life ain't fair.

So why complain, I feel no shame, I've used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill.
So why complain, I feel no shame, I've used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill.
Pay the bill, pay the bill.
The next generation has to pay the bill
The next generation has to pay the bill
Pay the bill, pay the bill
The next generation has to pay the bill.
And the next generation has to pay... Pay the bill!

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't complain.
I've done everything I can but it's still the same,
I've got nothing to lose, so why should I give a fuck?
My life's a piece of shit and that's where I'm stuck.
I never got a fair chance to even prove myself,
So tell me why should I be nice to anybody else?
You say you can't understand why I say life is a bitch,
I can't understand how you can be so rich.
So what do you mean we've got the same possibilities?
I haven't even got your educational abilities.
I dropped out of school before I took me degree,
Cos the welfare line made more sense to me.
I try to work for a living so I can pay all my debts
And I've come to realize this is as good as it gets.
I hate my fucking life more than you hate me,
I just can't understand why this is how it should be.

So I complain it's still the same.
We're standing still,
While the next generation has to pay the bill.
So I complain it's still the same.
We're standing still,
While the next generation has to pay the bill.
Pay the bill, pay the bill
The next generation has to pay, pay the bill
The next generation has to pay, pay the bill
Pay the bill, pay the bill.
The next generation has to pay, pay the bill
The next generation has to pay!
