lyrics

Wake up at 11 am in the morning, put the kettle on high.
Make the bell stop ringing. Listen to the screaming all the time.

Well, you goddamn people sure do make it clear, if you don't got the cash, you ain't welcome here. If you don't got the money, you better have the looks, you better have the time.

It's a knock knock knock knock knock on the front door of the house all through the night. Somebody isn't doing alright.

Go to sleep at 6 am in the morning, drunk as hell, smelling like cheap wine and bread.
Wake up hungry, feeling like a bomb went off in your head.

Well, you goddamn people sure do make it clear, if you don't got the cash, you ain't welcome here. If you don't got the money, you better have the looks, you better have the time.

"God, Forgive These Bastards" Songs From The Forgotten Life Of Henry Turner (2012)
by The Taxpayers

supported by 5 fans who also own “Better Have The Time”

The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades. Ulysses Johnson
