Payout

[Verse] Somewhere in a minefield on the front line Of a crude thought I once said: "Hard work doesn't always pay off But everyone needs a little fun now and then." And he said: "What do you mean by that?" [Verse 2] I mean that everyone deserves a little bit of pleasure It doesn't always have to be About the gold watch The dollar sign The get-up-and-go and get-ahead mentality [Verse 3] Sometimes It's a little about a red cup A six-pack A night out on the town A nice guy A clean woman It could be any of those things And it's different for everyone [Verse 4] It's not just about the sex or the drugs It's a combination of a lot of things It could be the first frost The last drop of blood It could be the right song at the right time And just not worrying about the repercussions [Verse 5] I mean What did you really lose in the long run? In the long run What did you really gain? And what did it cost you? Because what goes up Must come down [Verse 6] And when you weigh it all out Don't you think: "What's wrong with a little bit of fun now and then?" Hard work doesn't always pay off But everyone needs a little fun now and then
