89’ premium lies

[Verse 1] Pulled in on E Same as yesterday Didn’t go nowhere But I paid anyway Card in the slot It asked me “debit or soul?” I said “whichever’s cheaper” But I don’t really know ⸻ [Verse 2] Guy next to me Said, “Hell of a price” I nodded slow Like that made it right He said he’s got a boat And two trucks at home I said “that’s freedom” He said “damn right,” then drove ⸻ [Chorus] We all keep payin’ For something we need Even if we ain’t sure What it feeds I don’t ask questions I just press “Yes” It’s easier that way And it hurts a lot less ⸻ [Verse 3] I’ve heard stories Of trains and towns Where people walk And the air calms down But I got a job That’s an hour each way And a boss who smiles When I can’t escape ⸻ [Bridge] There’s oil in the water And ads in my sleep A voice on the radio Sells me relief And I take it, like pills Like burgers, like news I don’t think anymore I just choose ⸻ [Final Chorus] So I keep payin’ For something I need Even if I know It’s killin’ me I don’t ask questions I just press “Yes” It’s easier that way And it hurts a lot less
