Lyrics and translation

Original

The proposal isn't simple and the aim ain't true

That's okay, you'll catch on soon

Have I got a deal for you

You strike me as a realist, this'll be a breeze

We can stop anytime you please

It ain't pretty but hey, nothing's free

Waiting for the payoff

Coming due

I feel a little stupid

Doubting you

'Cause nobody gets ripped off when there's nothing to lose

The sophistication of our methods can't be discerned

I'll explain 'cause it's best you learn

That man, when it's humming, you can't hear the churn

It's a low-risk proposition, don't lose your shirt

I'll appraise your body's worth

Come on, a small cut ain't bound to hurt

Waiting for the payoff

Coming due

I'm sick of the excuses

Out of you

Waiting for the payoff

What I'm due

Just a little token

Of your gratitude

Waiting for the payoff

It's coming soon

It's coming soon

Yeah, it's coming soon

Why bother getting pissed off when there's

There's nothing you can do

There's nothing you can do

There's nothing you can do

There's nothing you can do

There's nothing you can do

There's nothing you can do

There's nothing you can do
