[Verse 1]
I work so hard
I made my mark
But I'm kept in the dark
While the pigs get paid
They shake your hand
They break your band
They'll take you where you stand
And the pigs get paid, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh darling, I wanna buy a house for you
Oh darling, I wanna set you free
Oh darling, I wanna do the dance with you
But I'm on my knees
Please, hear me

[Verse 2]
Let's drink, let's ride
The ink has dried
But don't blink, they're not on your side
Yeah, the pigs get paid
Hey man, great show
Here's what you owe
Oh, what can, what can I say
When the lyrics don't matter anyways?
[Chorus]
Oh darling, I wanna buy a house for you
Oh darling, I wanna set you free
Oh darling, I wanna do the dance with you
But I'm on my knees
Please, hear me

[Bridge]
It don't add up
It don't add up
It don't add up
It don't add up
It don't add up
So put a dollar in my cup

[Chorus]
Oh darling, I wanna buy a house for you
Oh darling, I wanna set you free
Oh darling, I wanna do the dance with you
But I'm on my knees
Please, hear me
Oh darling
Oh darling
Oh darling, take it from me
Hear me
