Wages Lyrics by Bad Sounds

Get Better

2017

[Verse 1]
I'm only lookin'
I have my heart set on a home
Like saving Steven, and anxious Ann
Sounds like a scam
Gonna get ripped off
Gonna do it again

[Chorus]
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin

[Verse 2]
But I ain't sulkin'
I'm just too sober to dance
Ain't John Travolta and you ain't Sandy
A story you know, honey, I made it up
Goin' through it again

[Chorus]
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin

[Bridge]
I've got that cold, cold coffee, yeah I'm undercover with it
I got that cold, cold coffee, yeah I'm undercover 'cause I don't wanna be like them
(Don't wanna be like them)
I got that colden golden coffee, yeah I'm undercover 'cause I don't wanna be like them
(Don't wanna be like them)
I got this cold, cold coffee, yeah I'm undercover and I don't wanna be like them
(Don't wanna be like them)
Your mum's got colden golden coffee 'cause she's undercover and she don't wanna be like them

[Outro]
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
