Lyrics
Compensation © Ed Bast 2006
Now that your compensation?s through,
I?m finally getting around more than I used to,
I?ve found somebody else that I can talk to.
I can take what people say:
?She couldn?t wait to screw the lid down,
and the whole town isn?t big enough to hold her now.?
He?s got the same name as you, so he doesn?t know,
Just doesn?t understand that,
I still get confused.
Now that your compensation?s through,
I?m finally getting around more than we used to,
I?m not used to this,
But it?s all there is.
