The people get poorer
The stacks keep shrinking
The price gets higher
This game
We’re losing
The bounty keeps rising
Pay up
Pay up
Better cut that cheque
Pay up
Pay up
The ground gets drier
The ice keeps melting
The oceans get higher
This ship
We’re sinking
The water keeps rising
Pay up
Pay up
Better watch your step
Pay up
Pay up
The air gets thicker
Things keep dying
The stakes get higher
We’re catching fire
& the heat’s rising
Pay up
Pay up
Better place your bets
Time to ante up
blood and lace
