I Paid the Price Songtext
von Van Morrison

Well, I′m sick and tired of your alibis
All your phoney lies
Get me down in size
Over and over and over and over again

And your family
Phoney superiority
Gonna cut you free, get out
Over and over and over and over again

'Cause I paid the price
You′re as cold as ice
And you can count me out
You can count me out
Now without a doubt
I have paid the price

And up and down
Down we go again
And up and down


To lose grandeur, dire straits
Ain't walking through you
Classic Golden Gates
Over and over and over and over again

And your family
And they disagree
And your phoney superiority
Won't get you by
Over and over and over and over again

You′re as cold as ice
And I′ll drink twice
For I paid the price
And without a doubt
You can count me out
'Cause I paid the price

And I just wanna know
Who′s your sponsor (what for?)
I just wanna know
Who's your sponsor
I just wanna know
Who′s your angel
Be good to your angel
Be good to your sponsor


And don't discriminate your angel
And don′t discriminate your angel
And don't discriminate your angel
And don't discriminate your angel
Don′t discriminate your angel

And you can count me out
′Cause without a doubt
I paid the price
Oh yeah, oh yeah
