Oh
Oh, oh, oh, mm

You've got to pay your way in pain
You've got to pray your way in shame (Yeah, ooh)

I went to the store, I was feelin' kinda hungry
But didn't have the money and the shelves were all empty
So I went to the bank to ch-ch-ch-check my checking
The man looked at my face, said, "We don't have a record"

Oh no, you thought we had forgotten
The show is only gettin' started
The road is feelin' like a pothole
Sit down, stand up, head down, hands up

And pay your way in pain
You've got to pray your way in shame

Do you not remember me? (What you want? What you want?)
Do you know what I want? (What you want? What you want?)
You know what I want (What you want? What you want?)
Keep it relaxed, baby, ah, ah
I wanna be loud
Pay
Pain
Pray
Shame

So I went to the park just to watch the little children
The mothers saw my heels and they said I wasn't welcome
So I, I went back home, I was feelin' kinda queasy
But all the locks were changed, my baby wouldn't see me

Oh no, you've put your finger on it
The stove is only gettin' hotter
The Sun, it's gotta get to meltin'
Stand up, sit down, hands up, break down

(What you want? What you want?)
You know what I want
(What you want? What you want?)
I wanna be loud
(What you want? What you want? Pay, pain)
(What you want? What you want? Pray, shame)
I wanna be loud
