waiting for gas, waiting in line
seems like a fool walked across it this time
deep in my pockets, couch has no change
don't know if I'll find the money to pay for it

we're gonna have to pay for it
every mistake of his
today it's the strait that is
we're gonna have to pay for it

suits in the harbour suits in the sky
everybody willing to cross that line
legal or not, nobody cares
don't know if I'll find the money to pay for it

we're gonna have to pay for it
every mistake of his
today it's the strait that is
we're gonna have to pay for it

more resignations more power abused
more retribution more widely excused
one thing is certain no thing is more sure
we're all on the hook when the bill's comin due

we're gonna have to pay for it
every mistake of his
today it's the strait that is
we're gonna have to pay for it

kk over to you to play with it if you like

Hey John,
really like where you’re going with this - there’s some strong imagery in there.
For this thread I was trying to stay a little less direct on the politics and keep it more about the broader impact and tension. Your angle definitely hits harder on the cause side, which is interesting - might even be worth its own thread.

But if you want to hear what your song could sound like ... I gave it a try:

We're Gonna Have To Pay For It
