Lyric The Wages of Love


Down thru the ages
All the sages
said don t spend your wages on Love

Graft and collusion
_____ the intrusion
and proceeding foreclosures
there s overexposures

down at the crossroads
the question is posed
bridge is washed out
and the highway s closed

___ ___ ___ reason
firmly believe
love was designed
to exploit and deceive

There s a _____
Wherever you send em
Every ball ___ ___ in your chest
You will see
simple addition
keeps with tradition
Don t spend your wages on Love

Taking any burgh any city or town
Just get on main street and
drive all the way down

You see love has a graveyard
___ ___ __ ___
___ ___ ___ ___ ___
and paid thru the nose

your shovel s a shot glass
dig your own hole
bury what s left of your miserable soul

Down thru the ages
All the sages
said don t spend your wages on Love

Graft and collusion
_____ the intrusion
and proceeding foreclosures
there s overexposures

down at the crossroads
the question is posed
bridge is washed out
and the highway s closed
