Lyrics and translation
Original
You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more.
Quick before I walk out that door.
Quick before it all ends in tears.
What a waste of all those beers!
You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed.
Quick because I'm through being attacked.
Are you really prepared to lose, all this just to air your views?
We're on the brink of something, get me a drink of something quick between your outrageous remarks, like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks.
Quick before you can't take that back, just before it all goes black.
You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes.
You're living in dangerous times.
Torture me for your amusement.
Ah, but who will pay the rent?
Who will pay the rent?
Who will pay the rent?
Who will pay the rent?
Who will pay the rent?
