    Lyrics
    So you wanted life and your wish came true
    And you weren't here before but you're here today
    And there's a few things I want to tell you
    Because every moment you're living you're slipping away

    You've always got to pay the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Even little babies they have to pay the price

    So you want to be popular at school
    Ostracising freaks and having all the fun
    Hating everything that's not chillin' quote and cool
    Just remember Columbine where some freaks got a gun

    You've always got to pay the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Even little trendys they've got to pay the price

    So you try not to follow the crowd
    And try to look goth and end up looking like KISS
    And you can live all self-righteous and proud
    And you'll end up writing shit worse than this
    You've always got to pay the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Even little freaks they've got to pay the price

    But fucking around makes it all worthwhile
    And don't think about their blood while you're jumping their bones
    And The Doctor says with a savage smile;
    "Well it's better than dying in an old folk's home."

    You've always got to pay the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Even little sluts they've got to pay the price

    But it all makes sense when you find true love
    It's like nothing can break your heart
    And you ask yourself what matter - nothing does
    But get ready for loss it's going to tear you apart

    You've always got to pay the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Even lovers they've got to pay the price

    So you want the car and the job and the spouse
    And you think it's not so bad on the whole
    When you're looking at your big fucking house
    You just remember it might cost you your soul

    You' ve always got to pay the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Even suburbia they've got to pay the price

    So you want to have God?
    Well he comes with Satan
    In a shrink-wrapped two-pack
    In all good service stations
    Just like those damn cigarettes
    Without a warning label.
    And in all the good times
    You should sing this song
    When you're with your friends
    And you're boozing on
    Yeah keep that party going on strong
    You'll all be dead in not too long

    It's a plastic pot plant world
    Why don't you take a look around?
    Once we had everything
    Now we've fallen on the ground
    And everyone is so happy
    But I can hear these little crying sounds

    I think they're the sounds of paying the price

    So you end up locked away in a home
    And you can't even remember your name
    But you still know you'll surely die alone
    Withered, broken, mindless, bitter and lame

    You've always got to pay the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Even geriatrics they've got to pay the price
    So they throw out your body with ceremony
    And with flowers and everything nice
    And now maybe you can fucking see
    You've always got to pay the price

    Damn it........Now you've paid the price

    You've always got to pay the price
    You've always got to pay the price
    Fucking everybody they've all got to pay the price.
