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

John posted this in a different thread and I found his lines inspiring. I wanted to find out what they could sound like, so I added a bridge and ran them through Suno. I was surprised how good it sounded. I thought this deserved its own thread. This is a Voorpostel/Baitinger collab.

We’re Gonna Have To Pay For It

[Intro]
Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa

[Verse]
Waiting for gas, waiting in line
Feels like a fool crossed it this time
Deep in my pockets, nothing but dust
Do I have what it takes to cover the cost

[Verse]
Suits in the harbor, suits in the sky
Everybody ready to step over the line
Legal or not, nobody cares
Do I have what it takes to cover my share

[Chorus]
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
Every mistake of his
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
Today it’s the strait we’re in
We’re gonna have to pay for it

[Break]

[Verse]
More resignations, more power abused
More retribution quietly excused
One thing’s certain, nothing is sure
We’re on the hook when the bill comes due

[Chorus]
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
Every mistake of his
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
Today it’s the strait we’re in
We’re gonna have to pay for it

[Bridge]
Hands on the meter, watchin’ it climb
Counting the cost one dollar at a time
They make the moves, we take the fall
Funny how the little guy pays it all

[Interlude]
Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa

[Final chorus]
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
Every mistake of his
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
Today it’s the strait we’re in
We’re gonna have to pay for it

[Outro]
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
Whoa, we’re gonna have to pay for it
We’re gonna have to pay for it
