Rob and I riffed on a lyric which he processed through SUNO that I took an immediate liking to because it pounded out that hook.

[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 so 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

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
