We’ve Got Your Paycheck
[Verse 1:]
"Floyd, we've got your paycheck
Floyd, we've got your paycheck
We know that you hate our business
But we think that you ought to hear this"
Fellas, I cannot take this
Fellas, I cannot take this
I know that you're trying to bribe me
And I swore not to take that kindly
"Well, you may think it's easy to say that
And trust me, we do respect you
But previous presidents know that
You need money to continue"
Guys, I would doubt that that's true
And I know what corporate money has done to
The entire political process
And I was sent here to resolve this

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
"But if you'll just hear us out, Mr. President"
No I do not wanna hear it
I do not want to lose this
I am not a liar, guys
I ain't here for my benefit
I saw what your influence caused
I know that it's all your fault
That people are starving on the streets
And the system's been rigged from the top
"We know Floyd. We believe in your policies, but you need us to make them work"
[Chorus:]
Is this in my best interest?
"We think it is"
Is this in my best interest?
I'd better not
Is this in my best interest?
"Floyd, we swear it is"
Is this in my best interest?
No, I'd better not

[Verse 2:]
"Floyd, we've got your paycheck
Floyd, we've got your paycheck
You know that you cannot do everything
You'll need congress as well"
Fellas, I cannot take this
Fellas, I cannot take this
I don't see what congress has to do with it
You're just trying to bribe me
"Well, to win congressional elections
You're gonna need the money
It's not a bribe Floyd, it really ain't
We're just expressing our support
And they will need our support
Our corporation's got that rapport
And once we've funded your candidates
They'll go on and help you out"
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I don't know guys, I mean that does make sense
What they say is adding up
The money system is fucked up, but
It is the way that it works
And I need to work within it
And once they've funded all of congress
Full of people like me
We can work to change the system
That they paid us for

[Chorus:]
Is this in my best interest?
"We think it is"
Is this in my best interest?
It might be
Is this in my best interest?
"Floyd, we swear it is"
Is this in my best interest?
I guess it is
