Cheap Reward

Oh, well, i feel so loose tonight i might fall to pieces

So be prepared to sweep me out the door

And i might be horizontal by the time the music ceases

So i think i'll get acquainted with the floor



Oh, i was trying to get away from the things that i always do

Hello, floorboards once again--how are you?



Lip service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me

Well, how could you believe i'll take you seriously?

With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage

Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage



All the sign posts on this road that point one way

Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes

I'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing more to say

And it's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose



Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly

I would've done the same for you, oh, but you said to me:



Lip service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me

Well, how could you believe i'd take you seriously?

With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage

Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage



Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
