The Price We Pay - Clawfinger

Things never seem to go according to plans

So we always end up compromising

We’re not smart enough to have a plan B at hand

So we always end up improvising

It’s killing us to settle with the cards we get

When we know there’s much more at stake

But giving in to pressure is the safest bet

& it’s also our biggest mistake

Chorus: That’s the price we pay, that’s the price we pay (x4)

We never asked to be put into this position

We never had high demands

We never claimed to be on some kind of mission

Like we had some kind of masterplan

It’s not as if we know exactly what we came for

So we settle for what comes our way

We’re always unprepared for the final encore

What the fuck are we supposed to say

Every move we make every step we take that’s the price we pay

Every rule we break, every move we fake that’s the price we pay!
