The Rent is Due
The rent’s been due for a long time
One day it’s gotta be paid
It’s been piling up now for centuries
And gloom and oppression it made
The rent is due, it is nagging
And higher the value soars
Paid it must be, it is urgent
As the wolves are nearing the door
Here’s notice that the
Rent is due,
and when it’s paid we’re freed,
to be what we can be,
a happy world you’d see
Here’s notice that the rent is due,
been due a long, long time,
The denied bottom line
The longest unsolved crime
The giants have the world enclosed
But there is coming a day
The truth is always insistent
It’s never going away
Here’s notice that the Rent is due
when it’s paid, we will be
unchained beyond wild imaginings
of how sweet life could be
Here’s notice that the Rent is due
when it’s paid we can rest
run out of words to express
and colours to describe
The rent’s been due for a long time
One day it’s gotta be paid
The truth will remain insistent
It’s never going away
