Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

The debt collector’s on his way

 He’ll break your bones and make you pay

He’ll make you pay, yeah

Verse 1

Fill your life with stuff that you don’t need

Expensive things you can’t afford to keep

Common sense? You haven’t got a lot!

Your priorities are all over the shop!

You survive eating all your meals out of tins

Only work to fund your Friday night binge

In bed ‘til 3pm every weekend

You’re losing sleep like you lost all your friends

Bridge

Don’t you know the years have got a funny way

Of sneaking up on you every time you waste a day?

Chorus

The debt collector’s on his way

 He’ll break your bones and make you pay

He’ll make you pay, yeah

The debt collector’s on his way

 He’ll break your bones and make you pay

He’ll make you pay, yeah

Verse 2

Your birthday marks the end of another rubbish year

You don’t feel any older but your hair’s looking thinner

Ignorance isn’t always bliss

Your life could be a lot better than this

Now it’s time for you to change your ways

Make something of yourself one of these days

You owe your life to a health inspector

Spent time you didn’t have and now the debt collector

Is onto you

He’s after you

Bridge

Don’t you know the years have got a funny way

Of sneaking up on you every time you waste a day?

Haven’t you hear what comes to those who waste their lives

Just living every single day the same as everybody else?

Chorus

The debt collector’s on his way

 He’ll break your bones and make you pay

He’ll make you pay, yeah

The debt collector’s on his way

 He’ll break your bones and make you pay

He’ll make you pay, yeah
