Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?

I've been shout
I said I've been shout
You don't have to shout
Oh okay, well stop making me then
Hey, hey
I'm getting loud with you

This is the excuse that we're making (we're making)
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?

This is the excuse
This is the excuse

This is the excuse that we're making (we're making)

This is the excuse that we're making (we're making)
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?

You're paying
You're paying

This is the excuse that we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)?
