Rent Is Due - The Riverboat Gamblers

Try your best and make the list of «who's who»

So its likely you’ll succeed

To get the right vocation you need

Proper education and degrees

By the way!!!

Here’s another fee you

Gotta pay all the kids have been

Enlisted don’t look now you’re sick

And twisted like them

Right now!

Politely take your freedom

When you say «tell me what to do»

Thought dad had all the answers

Now he’s scraping for some food

He’s restless and he’s weary

Mom is never in the mood…

One step to retiring

Till rent is due.

Uh Oh!

Do your part and make your mark

And credit cards will keep you looking sharp

Your mouting debt’s a credit check

That’s overlooked and better left forgot

By the way!!!

Uh Oh!

Go where they go do as you’re told

Cause they say it’s so

Yeah but you don’t know

Why the old folks cry when they bitch and moan

Politely take your freedom

When you say «tell me what to do»

Thought dad had all the answers

Now he’s scraping for some food

He’s restless and he’s weary
