Seth Timbs - The Payoff

The world is full of people capable of things you’d think nobody should be capable of
They’ll break your heart and that’s just a start, They’ll cut you and laugh at the scars
They’ll make you pay for it in blood.

But you don’t let that get you down.
Yeah, you stick out your neck for this cut throat town.

So what’s it mean, you made the scene?
You got yourself so squeaky clean. You’re ready to take one for the team.
Another star that wants to shine twice as bright for half the time
Who’s place are you holding in line?

Sometimes you just have to wait for your turn to come around
Sometimes you’ve got to kill to get your crown

Chorus:
No matter what you do it might never payoff for you
If the payoff is all you’re really in it for

Bridge/verse:
Do you build a house to have a home?
Do you earn your cash to pay a loan?
They’ll break your bank and let’s be frank
They’ll leave you floating in the tank
They’ll put you back in file and rank.

But you don’t let that get you down
Yeah you stick out your neck for this cutthroat town.

(repeat chorus)
