lyrics

Have you ever felt you've done it all?
If you've ever lived to tell the tale my friend -
Then do it again
We started out with a righteous dream
This six string and a rusty harp with a busted reed
Or so it seemed

Chorus:
Haven't we paid our dues by now?
We've had our backs to the grind for years, I don't know how
One day we looked up to see the sky was falling down
Haven't we paid our dues by now?

Don't you know you never see it coming
Skies are sunny then it all rains down in grey-
What a day
We've gone down the road less travelled
Just to find a dead end again-
Why begin?

Chorus 2:
Haven't we paid our dues by now?
We've had our backs to the grind for years, I don't know how
We fought through the crowd to find ourselves in a ghost town
Haven't we paid our dues by now?

Bridge (instrumental)

SOLO

Chorus 3 (1 and 2 combined):
Haven't we paid our dues by now?
We've had our backs to the grind for years, I don't know how
We reached for the stars and they all started shooting down
Haven't we paid our dues by now?

Haven't we paid our dues by now?
We've had our backs to the grind for years, I don't know how
We built ourselves up while blood, sweat and tears were running down
Haven't we paid our dues by now?
