It Pays To Belong
The Blow Monkeys Lyrics

Simply beautiful, your plan is to wipe out
The plan being carried out is done deliberately in a stunningly beautiful way

The hope that we all hold out
The plan serves to annihilate the hope that the general public holds onto

Nobody gets left out and it pays to belong
The plan is all-inclusive and it's beneficial to be a part of it

Cool and hard, baby, that's what you are
You are well-composed and determined to see the plan through to the end

And your brief is to kill off resistance
You have a clear objective to eliminate any pushback towards the plan

Pity the victims, and it pays to belong
The plan has casualties, but it's still advantageous to be a part of it

There's no sense of shame
There is no feeling of regret or guilt

Only money gained
The only thing being gained is monetary benefits

When it all goes wrong
When the plan falls apart

And it pays to belong
Being a part of the plan is still advantageous in the face of failure

Yes, it pays to belong
Reinforcement of the benefit of belonging to the plan

Another bullish day
Another successful day for the plan

But who's gonna pay
But who will ultimately pay for the damage caused by the plan

When it all comes down
When the plan comes crashing down

Said it pays to belong
Reiterating that being a part of the plan is still worth it

You're a part of everybody's world here
You are a significant part of everyone's reality

No romance, no ties at all
You are only interested in the plan and have no emotional attachments

Everybody's buying shares in your lies
People are investing in the lies being fed to them

'Cause they don't realize
Because they are unaware of the true nature of the plan

I was dreaming about your troubled ways
I was experiencing nightmares about the negative aspects of the plan

I cast an eye over your estate
I examined your property and surroundings

Twenty-one stabbed, Twenty-one raped
There have been violent crimes committed, including stabbings and rapes

I hear they're putting up your rates
I have heard that your taxes are increasing as a result of the crimes committed under your watch

Get it on
Encouraging listeners to participate in the plan

It pays to belong
Again, the emphasis on the benefits of being a part of the plan
