Prison is a Paycheck

Look at what they got me doing honey

Bleeding for a couple cents

Bending over backwards

Sweating till my back hurts

For nothing but an empty fridge

Look at how they got me shackled honey

Like a deer in a bear trap

Somebody getting richer

I'm only getting thinner

I wonder how I'll pay my rent

Prison is a paycheck

Eight:05 the alarm clock sounds off

Icicle's cause my heat got turned off

Stumble to my car, start it but it turns off

Walk to work in the cold, feels like my shirt's off

Well good morning Mr Chris

If she says that one more time, I'm gonna be sick

Her condescension's so damn thick, like her purple lipstick

I'm just here for my paycheck

She says

You working hard or hardly working

Haha, I gotta get outta here that's for certain

I just wanna be home in my studio

Making jams like Phil

Sussudio

Writing new songs, making music videos

Instead I'm at work listening to the boss drone

On and on about some corporate bull crap

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Look at what they got me doing honey

Bleeding for a couple cents

Bending over backwards

Sweating till my back hurts

For nothing but an empty fridge

Look at how they got me shackled honey

Like a deer in a bear trap

Somebody getting richer

I'm only getting thinner

I wonder how I'll pay my rent

Prison is a paycheck

You can't put a doggy in a birdhouse

And tell him he should meow like a cat

You can't put a doggy in a birdhouse

And tell him he should meow like a cat

A singer was meant to sing

A writer was meant to write

A dancer was meant to dance

Look at what they got me doing honey

Bleeding for a couple cents

Bending over backwards

Sweating till my back hurts

For nothing but an empty fridge

Look at how they got me shackled honey

Like a deer in a bear trap

Somebody getting richer

I'm only getting thinner

I wonder how I'll pay my rent

Prison is a paycheck
