Paid In Cigarettes Lyrics by Hot Snakes

Suicide Invoice

0

Pay the president in cigarettes
Pay up in government bonds
Compensate him with filter tips
Allocated to the White House lawn
Walking ‘round Mount Pleasant
Collecting on IOUs
Ain’t coming back empty handed
He’s worth every bit he’s due
Hands out with the priests
For millions more
How many cartons does that make?
When the dead lay at my door
Cough it up
Cough it up
Cough it up now
Cough it up
Cough it up
It ain’t enough
Cough it up til the puppets cut their strings
Pay the president in cigarettes
Pay up in government bonds
Compensate him with filter tips
Allocated to the White House lawn
Walking ‘round Mount Pleasant
Collecting on IOUs
Ain’t coming back empty handed
He’s worth every bit he’s due
Hands out with the priests
For millions more
How many cartons does that make?
Once the dead lay at my door
Cough it up
Cough it up
Cough it up now
Cough it up
Cough it up
It ain’t enough
Cough it up til the puppets cut their strings
Pay the president in medical waste
Pay to have a premium bond
Compensate him with good taste
And American reason
His spitting distance
He’s in spitting range
His hands are yellow, now
Yeah, and his teeth are stained
Cough it up
Cough it up
Cough it up now
Cough it up
Cough it up
It ain’t enough
Cough it up til the puppets cut their strings
