Pay The Bills
Dingus Lyrics

Check the mail, your rent's been waiting
You have received a rent bill in the mail and it is waiting for you to pay.

The time has come to pay the bills
It is now the time for you to pay your bills, as they have been accumulating.

And these envelopes ironically
The envelopes you receive in the mail for bills are ironically being used to send back money.

Make it easy to send back the money scraped
It is easy to pay back the bills, even though it is hard to come up with the money to do so.

Procrastinate, they'll send another
If you keep avoiding paying your bills, they will keep sending you more and more reminders.

Until Big Brother comes and kicks you in the ass
If you keep avoiding paying your bills, eventually the government or other authority will force you to pay.

Your time is running out
You are running out of time to pay your bills before they become overdue and cause problems.

And your priorities need order once again
You need to prioritize paying your bills over other things in your life.

Your cell phone is dying, your card's interesting
Your phone battery is running low and your credit card statement is interesting to look at, but these things are not as important as paying your bills.

Your cable's growing rabbit ears
Your cable TV is getting worse and worse, but you still need to pay your bills before worrying about that.

And the mess you've created for them and yourself
You have created a mess by not paying your bills on time and it is causing problems for both the person/organization you owe money to and for you.

Is pouring the sweat, and it's shedding the tears over you
It is causing stress and emotional distress for both parties involved.

Oh, where to start? not paid until Thursday
You are not able to pay your bills until Thursday and you are not sure where to begin.

And even then, just fifty bucks
You only have $50 to put towards your bills.

Because your wage is minimum
You are not making a lot of money because you are only earning minimum wage.

Along with your skills so you can't find better work
You are not able to find a better job because you do not have the skills or qualifications required for higher paying positions.

Oh, what to do? still owe that one guy
You don't know what to do because you still owe one person money.

And these dimes I've found beneath the couch
You have found a small amount of change under your couch cushions.

Aren't enough to buy the stamps
Even though you found some change, it is not enough to buy stamps for the letters you need to send regarding your bills.

For the letters piling up, for the "thank you's" to my grandma
You have letters that you need to send in order to thank your grandmother for helping you pay for food and rent.

Who's been sending me the checks
Your grandmother has been sending you checks to help you pay for your basic needs.

For the food and for the rent and all this shit
Your grandmother has been helping you pay for food and rent, among other expenses.

All of these things that we don't even need
We often spend money on things that we do not actually need in our life.

All these brand names known useless
Brand names and labels often do not add significant value to a product and are known to be useless features that we pay more for.

All of the times that we've made sacrifice for love
We often make sacrifices for those we love, both in terms of time and money.

And disregard a meaning for life
We may become so focused on paying bills and making money that we forget the true meaning of life and what is actually important.
