How Much Do You Pay (Live) - Oliver Hart[00:00:00]

No one really understands the experience that jades logic[00:00:48]

And paves an agnostic place to lay and decay In toxic waste[00:00:52]

So most carry Identity paraphernalia to familiarize with smiles neatly[00:00:55]

Painted on a robotic face[00:00:59]

But not this man he played the bucket with his hands[00:01:01]

And got paid by whatever change people would drop In his can[00:01:04]

Twenty-three years ago he was a lawyer by description[00:01:07]

But I guess all of a sudden he resigned from that position[00:01:10]

But I've never seen the sky quite as clear as his eyes[00:01:13]

As his blistered fingers beat down on the plastic[00:01:16]

And In a twisted sort of way It all makes sense[00:01:19]

While they rush to die he provides the soundtrack so tragic[00:01:22]

He sits on the corner of 7th and 1st[00:01:26]

And I was thirsty for the answer to a question anyone would nurse[00:01:28]

One day I asked he why he gave up his career[00:01:32]

He said I didn't I just took off the name tag then he added[00:01:35]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:01:38]

It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play[00:01:41]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:01:44]

It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play[00:01:47]

So I took In what was said but I didn't accept It[00:01:50]

Well maybe I did I mean I just wouldn't admit It[00:01:53]

I was too committed to the belief that all the hard work from now would[00:01:56]

Improve my future existence somehow[00:02:00]

So I said you don't accomplish nothing sitting In the street[00:02:02]

And I'm sure you barely survive off the pennies you gather[00:02:05]

He said to your surprise I make enough to eat[00:02:08]

And I accomplish just as much as you only I stop pretending my job matters[00:02:11]

He looked me In my face and told me I was a puppet[00:02:15]

And what I do Is no more Important than playing a bucket[00:02:18]

I still hear his voice when I set my alarm before bed[00:02:21]

I never could wash what he said out of my head[00:02:24]

So f**k It It goes[00:02:26]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:02:27]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:02:30]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:02:33]

It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play[00:02:36]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:02:39]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:02:42]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:02:45]

It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play[00:02:48]

See I can dress myself up In a white coat and say I'm a doctor[00:02:51]

Carry a knob on my belt buckle with a gold badge[00:02:55]

And say I'm a copper[00:02:57]

Maybe I'm just a sloppy lazy crazy carbon copy part of the heartlessly[00:02:58]

Deranged nation that gave me the generation ecstasy under water I forgot[00:03:01]

The survivor of the mind washed and slaughtered[00:03:05]

I've watched your offers caught your calls and[00:03:07]

Called your forefathers my bosses lost It all In the name of gaining enough[00:03:09]

To spend consuming the youth since those pray In doom for the hand[00:03:13]

My friends see[00:03:16]

When I saw my man playing away on his drum[00:03:17]

Something clicked In my brain and I became less dumb[00:03:19]

I'm working for bread crumbs[00:03:22]

Pretending there's a meaning[00:03:24]

But my employment Is just a bucket I'm desperately beating[00:03:25]

And one day I'll be old and retired[00:03:28]

Looking at my life like what a waste of good fire[00:03:32]

All because school never taught me how to be Inspired[00:03:35]

And the job concerned applying to myself just wouldn't hire[00:03:37]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:03:41]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:03:44]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:03:47]

It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play[00:03:50]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:03:53]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:03:56]

Make money and die that's the American way[00:03:59]

But hey here's my application how much do y'all pay[00:04:02]
