Everything

Well it ain’t like me to come right out and say
But this is not an ordinary day
A momentary lapse of reason, one little act of treason
Like everything ain’t too high priced to pay
Well, the devil, he comes knocking at my door
Never once occurred to be to pay
Brief negotiation, it’s a strange situation
When everything ain’t too high price to pay
So long hopes and dreams and grand desire
So long, yeah, life does seem long sometimes
Time off for good behavior like a soldier or a savior
And everything ain’t too high price to pay
Better deals are out there to be made
A man needs collateral these days
It sound good at the time I guess
But there in that fine print it says
That everything ain’t too high price to pay
So long hopes and dreams and grand desire
So long, yeah, life does drag on sometimes
Time off for good behavior like a soldier or a savior
And everything ain’t too high price to pay
Well, I always heard and now I understand
You can’t take it with you anyway
What you work to sacrifice
And try to make a wrong thing right
That’s when everything ain’t too high price to pay
