"Payback Time" lyrics

Well, when I was a young man, I lived by the rules
You got to have respect, and you got to go to school
Boy, you've got a free ride, enjoy it while you can
'Cause things will be different when you become a man

And it's payback time

Now there's an old saying, it ain't no lie
Life is a bitch, baby, and then you die
You may become a rich man, you may become a king
But it don't mean nothing when that golden bell rings

And it's payback time
Payback time
Till the end of the line
Laugh till you cry
Then it's payback time

And when you're finally standing
At the end of the line
Love is too expensive
But you can't afford to die

When it's payback time
Yes, it's payback time
Till the end of the line
Laugh till you cry
Then it's payback time

Oh, yeah
What's going around now comes around
Oh, yeah
