Pay the Cost Lyrics by MonkeyJunk

Tiger in Your Tank

0

You might live like a preacher
Or spend your time in sin
Ohh, but all men are judged equal
When it's time to cash 'em in

Someday, oh you must pay the cost

Don't matter where you've been
Or what you worn
It's just the price we pay
For being born

Ohh maybe your momma said you was special
Made you feel invincible
But your momma can't help you
Once your hourglass is full

Someday, oh you must pay the cost

Somebody don't you say it more
Ohh it's just the price we pay
For being born

Ohh you can drink away your fears
Or try to numb the pain
No matter how far down you bury it
The truth gonna rise again

Someday people, ohh someday you got to pay the cost

Ohh we is just flesh and bone
Ohhhh that's the price we pay
Just for being born
