[Verse 1] John Sprokitt had a massive plan To steal the wealth of every man If you breathe he wants his cut Better keep your bleeding mouth shut He sued a taxi, sued a gnome Wanted every single home Claimed the rainfall as his own Sitting on a velvet throne [Chorus] Pay me for the air! Pay me for the street! I am infrastructure, get down at my feet! Pay me for the breeze! Pay me for the sky! I will sue the heavens till the day I die! [Verse 2] Ponsonby Snoot in the big tall chair Staring at a man who wanted cash for air Four long hours of velvet and gold Jury getting tired and the room getting cold He invoiced a mirror for a bad reflection Demanded absolute, total perfection [Chorus] Pay me for the air! Pay me for the street! I am infrastructure, get down at my feet! Pay me for the breeze! Pay me for the sky! I will sue the heavens till the day I die! [Bridge] The judge looked down and the hammer hit hard One single pound for the greedy facade Walked out the door, dropped the coin in a drain Shaking his bloody fist at the pouring rain [Outro] SUE THE RAIN! SUE THE SKY! SUE THE DROP! UNTIL I DIE! Sue the weather! ©2026 Trevor Swistchew and The Shady River Bard. All rights reserved.
