Payday Lyrics by Oliver Stay

Payday - Single

2020

[VERSE 1]
I have been living off these bread crumbs
But I’ve been thinking
How I could be more than my paystubs
And I
Don’t wanna treat it like I’m stuck in a rut
But every time I get on top of it
It falls sideways
Then I’m scraping it by ‘til each Friday
[PREChorus]
But they say
Make money, make money
Get your bills paid
Drop your youth
And work for 401k
One day, one day
You’re gonna feel great
But nowhere near your age
[Chorus]
Hey
I’m sick of waiting on my payday
And I hate that they always say
White collar
If you ain’t white collar
You will stay broke
Stay broke, die young
Hey
Guess there’s nothing much else to say
So I’m leaving the check blank
I’m white collar
Never be white collar
I will stay broke
Stay broke, die young
[VERSE 2]
Hey
I know it’s easier said than done
But I’m so sick of misery
When my wallet is my only company
[PREChorus]
It says
Make money, make money
Get your bills paid
Drop your youth
And work for 401k
One day, one day
You’re gonna feel great
But nowhere near your age
[Chorus]
Hey
I’m sick of waiting on my payday
And I hate that they always say
White collar
If you ain’t white collar
You will stay broke
Stay broke, die young
Hey
Guess there’s nothing much else to say
So I’m leaving the check blank
I’m white collar
Never be white collar
I will stay broke
Stay broke, die young
[BRIDGE]
I know it’s crazy to think
That I could be more than my 9-5
I should work my whole life
I should work my whole life
But I get a feeling that I’ll be fine
If I’m doing what I like
‘Cause I could work my whole life
I could work my whole life
And get nothing
[Chorus]
Hey
I’m sick of waiting on my payday
And I hate that they always say
White collar
If you ain’t white collar
You will stay broke
Stay broke, die young
Hey
Guess there’s nothing much else to say
So I’m leaving the check blank
I’m white collar
Never be white collar
I will stay broke
Stay broke, die young
Hey
Hey
Hey
Stay broke
Stay broke, die young
