Return the Cost Lyrics by Cheap Sober

Unreleased & Unaccepted

2013

[Intro: Cheap Sober]
They kept askin' me
So I thought, fuck it
We'll make this one official
Return the Cost
Check

[Verse 1: Cheap Sober]
At times, I felt like nothin’ was worth it
Nothing could lift me up from the surface
Stuck in the swamp with hundreds o’ serpents
Covered in mud, smothered in dirt
I was fucked up, drunk off the bourbons
Stumblin' home to chuck up on the curtains
Under the furnace, burnin' hot
One thing was for certain, I deserved the lot
Cursed the cross, it hurt, hurt to watch
Everybody cruise straight as ya swervin' off
The road, approaching a herd o’ cops
All ready for crunch time, vermin pop
Starin’ at the sky with bundles of burdens
Rain came down and I felt so lost
One hundred million miles from perfect
What can I do to return the cost?

[Chorus: Cassandra Steen (Sampled)]
Eines Tages werde ich mich freuen
Eines Tages werd' ich jubeln und schrei'n
Denn Eines Tages wird wie in meinen Träumen

[Verse 2: Complete]
I'm the adventurous sort whose temper is short
Too demented and self-centred for my friends to adore
Whenever I enter a store, I'm just tempted to score
'Cause I want me what's in that register more than the Centrelink form
A menace for sure, a thief and a liar, too
My biggest dream was to feed my entire crew
But through my teens, all my deepest desires grew
I ain't buyin’ food, I'm just fiendin' a quiet brew
Or even quite a few, it's becomin’ a habit
This is somethin’ I haven't admitted, but when I maggot
My broken emotions go, they fuckin' just vanish
All the stuff I've ever done to be damaged, none of it matters
I'm loved as a rapper, my verses are boss
Even though my voice is annoyin’ as Kermit the Frog's
When I murder a hot beat, all the turbulence stops
It's like every word that I drop is returnin’ the cost, yeah

[Chorus: Cassandra Steen (Sampled)]
Eines Tages werde ich mich freuen
Eines Tages werd' ich jubeln und schrei'n
Denn Eines Tages wird wie in meinen Träumen
