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
