Paycheck Lyrics by Dropout, The Ready Set

2017

[Verse 1]
Remember all the times when I was falling apart
Did all that I had to, when the money was short
Now I'm trying to find my way back, back to the start
But the luxury it suits you, so you give me up

[Pre-Chorus]
You throw me away to be close to the things
That make people sway
Kardashian lips, and Cartier rings
All of the things rich kids need

[Chorus]
We're living paycheck to paycheck, paycheck
Hoping we make it
We're living dollar to dollar
Trying to fake it
Ain't it funny how money makes the world go 'round?

We're living paycheck to paycheck, paycheck
Hoping we make it
We're living dollar to dollar
Trying to fake it
Ain't it funny how money makes the world go 'round
Go 'round, go 'round?

[Verse 2]
Remember when you told me that good life's ahead
And then you went and showed me what that really meant
It's like I never even knew you, but was it all in my head?
And maybe money is the new you, so just give me up

[Per-Chorus]
And throw me away to be close to the things
That make people sway
Kardashian lips, and Cartier rings
All of the things rich kids need

[Chorus]
We're living paycheck to paycheck, paycheck
Hoping we make it
We're living dollar to dollar
Trying to fake it
Ain't it funny how money makes the world go 'round?

We're living paycheck to paycheck, paycheck
Hoping we make it
We're living dollar to dollar
Trying to fake it
Ain't it funny how money makes the world go 'round
Go 'round, go 'round?

[Bridge]
I make the same mistakes with you
I don't care about the rules
And I will do the things I chose and I chose you
And we will go where we're not alone
And we will run like we're running home
And we can't do the things that the rich kids like to do

[Chorus]
We're living paycheck to paycheck, paycheck
Hoping we make it
We're living dollar to dollar
Trying to fake it
Ain't it funny how money makes the world go 'round
Go 'round, go 'round?

[Outro]
Ooh, baby
Ain't it funny how money makes the world go 'round?
