(Verse 1)
Go ahead and light me up with smoke and mirrors
I would never trade my love for all your fear
And all the cash in your pocket ain’t gonna save you now Because you can’t buy a lifeboat when the ship is going down
(Chorus)
Everybody’s got hell to pay
Everyone has got words to say
Everybody’s got a better way
But everyone has got hell to pay
(Verse 2)
What is it you hate so much
Is that you look but you can’t touch
How dare you chase me with a hired gun
Well if somebody’s pulling that trigger Man you better be the one
(Chorus)
Everybody’s got hell to pay
Everyone has got words to say
Everybody’s got a better way
But everyone has got hell to pay
(Verse 3)
And by the time summer was over I was done picking out clovers Luck is hard to define
And by the time I outrun the ghost
There are ten more whisper close
That I can’t see with my eyes
(Chorus)
Everybody’s got hell to pay
Everyone has got words to say
Everyone is just a runaway
But everybody’s got hell to pay
(Outro)
I made you up in my mind
Everybody’s got hell to pay
