Some of us need to gather

And others gonna have to kill

With everybody so preoccupied

Who's gonna pay the bills?



If anybody finds a flame

You gotta keep it safe and dry

If anybody goes for coffee

Well, then, give me a piece of the pie, a little piece of the pie



And then we gotta try to harvest

Somebody's gonna have to till

And what about a little shelter?

What about a big house on the hill?



And who's gonna tend the garden

If the rain forgets to fall?

And who's gonna spend as much as they can on Baby Jesus at the mall?



Some of us need to gather

And others gonna have to kill

With everybody so preoccupied

Who's gonna pay the bills?



Now we got ourselves a surplus

Let's put it away for a while

We'll bring it back if we get hungry

Or just fashionably out of style



And who's gonna try to fix this one?

Somebody please stop the car

And who's gonna give me some good news and

Who's gonna take it too far?



Come on, let's take it too far

Come on, let's take it too far

Come on, let's take it too far

Come on, let's take it too



Some of us need to gather

And other's are gonna have to kill

With everybody so preoccupied

Who's gonna pay the bills?
