Paying Your Dues

Letter Seventeen

I’m all for paying your dues
And getting what you deserve
And people say you’ll only get what you can bear
But it might be time
For people to find out
You only get so far on thoughts and prayers

People like to tell you
You’ve got it under control
And they like to tell you how you are strong
And you’ll find it it doesn’t
Do you any good
If you tell them they are wrong

Nothing here is fair or even
It never really was
You learn to carry what you’re given
And you learn to move on

Nothing here is fair or even
It never really was
You learn to carry what you’re given
And you learn to move on
Yeah, you learn to move on
