Price To Pay
Music & Lyrics by Dallas Doctor
©2010 Wild Moose Music (BMI)


(I):
Go to school – Study hard
Learn a rule – Report card
Play well with others while you can
Graduate – Pick a career
Register – Sit here
Most important of all – Have a plan

(Chorus):
There’s a Price To Pay for dreamin’: “You’ll end up lonely and alone!”
And don’t they love to lay it on ya – like a curse?
The part they’re leavin’ out cut’s closer to the bone
There’s a Price To Pay for not dreamin’ – that’s worse.

(II):
Get a job – Persevere
Please the boss – Be sincere
Network with others – Advance
Buy some stuff – Buy some more
Don't forget what you're - workin' for
Most important of all – Don’t take a chance.
(Chorus):

(Bridge):
Put your eggs in a basket
Tend it well
Lay your bones in a casket
That’s where you’re headed – Time will tell
And when they gather around you
Does it really matter what they say?
In spite of all your plans
You die alone, anyway!

(III):
Go to school – Study hard
Learn a rule – Report card
Play well with others while you can
Graduate – Pick a career
Register – Sit here
Most important of all – don’t stray from the plan
(Chorus):

(Tag):
… Yeah, it’s worse (Yeah!) - It’s worse!
