Rent Is Due Lyrics - Singles - Riverboat Gamblers

Try your best and make the list of "who's who" 

so its likely you'll succeed. 

To get the right vocation you need 

proper education and degrees. 

By the way...! Here's another fee you 

gotta pay all the kids have been 

enlisted don't look now you're sick 

and twisted like them 

Right now! 

Politely take your freedom 

when you say "tell me what to do" 

thought dad had all the answers. 

Now he's scraping for some food 

he's restless and he's weary, 

mom is never in the mood... 

One step to retiring, 

till rent is due. Uh Oh! 

Do your part and make your mark 

and credit cards will keep you looking sharp. 

your mouting debt's a credit check 

that's overlooked and better left forgot. 

By the way...! Here's another fee you 

gotta pay all the kids have been 

enlisted don't look now you're sick 

and twisted like them 

Right now! 

Politely take your freedom 

when you say "tell me what to do" 

thought dad had all the answers. 

Now he's scraping for some food 

he's restless and he's weary, 

mom is never in the mood... 

One step to retiring, 

till rent is due. Uh Oh! 

Go where they go do as you're told 

cause they say it's so. 

Yeah but you don't know 

why the old folks cry when they bitch and moan. 

Politely take your freedom 

when you say "tell me what to do" 

thought dad had all the answers. 

Now he's scraping for some food 

he's restless and he's weary, 

mom is never in the mood... 

One step to retiring, 

till rent is due. Uh Oh!
