lyrics

The insured man is bruised,
knows drum rudiments.
The first to show up to the football game,
he was the first to train.
He was first to have-at the lasagna,
and first to marry, Mama.
He was the first to laugh when Grandpa
got so frail he couldn’t be moved,
with a rapid “Ha-ha”.
Somehow ready for hale.
He goes to town for breakfast
and to the dentist,
always obsessed with teeth.
He knows he’ll stay ahead in the race,
but decides to juice just in case.
Just in case.
And he has cancer.
He has cancer,
insured so he pays less.
A word so distorted,
is there even a grain of truth?

Pay up, pay up
Pay up, pay up
Pay up, pay up
