[Verse 1]
Cut your losses, cut your ties
Start a new life
These things, they can
Tie you up, weigh you down
Wear you in, then wear you out
One day, you could
Find yourself suddenly
Underneath the guillotine
You'll have to answer up for
What you want, what that means
That's the difference between
[Chorus]
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living
Making a killing
[Verse 2]
Why don't you buy yourself a gift
For the work you've been putting in
Maybe a little something
You could toss into that pit
Of emptiness you're pregnant with
Or maybe you could go and
Lose yourself all together
Nothing's getting any better!
Ah, no!
Is that what you really want
After all is said and done with me?
Oh, that's the difference between
[Chorus]
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Bills in a short stack
Bills to the ceiling
Making a living and
Making a killing
[Bridge]
After all is said and done with me?
Oh, that's the difference between
[Chorus]
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Like bills in a short stack
Bills to the ceiling
Making a living and
Making a killing
[Outro]
I found myself suddenly
Underneath that guillotine
For heaven's sake, I'm here, I'm willing
Let's making everyone a killing!
