[Intro]
G Em (x2)
B C
 
[Verse 1]
G                                                  Em
We got knocked off the horse and we can't get back up
                                             G
We can try to change but we've still got our bills
                                             Em
That we gotta pay, and the payments stay the same
                                                  B
No matter where you move, no matter how cheap the rent
                     C                             G    Em
Stop screaming for a change, start screaming for a wage
 
[Verse 2]
G                                                    Em
And the irony of plastic is when it starts replacing cash
                                                       G
Soon enough you have no cash and it gets replaced with debt
                                                                   Em
And all you're left with is past mistakes and the envelopes change color
                                                                B
All dimly lit pastels, they go white and then to yellow then to pink
                             C              D
It's like a f**king party to celebrate that you are f**ked
 
[Chorus]
  C      G        C     G           C       G
Electric flow and dirty clothes and student loans
   D
Oh god, you gotta pay 'em
  C      G        C       G         C     G
Electric flow and student loans and dirty clthes
   D                             Em                            F                G
Oh god, you gotta pay 'em, gotta pay 'em, gotta pay 'em, gotta pay 'em, pay 'em
 
G Em G Em
 
[Verse 3]
G                                                       Em
While you can't get a decent wage, I still can't find a job
                                       G
Yeah, my life just repeats the 2005 series
                                              Em
Of rejected applications and me botching interviews
                                                                   B
And waiting for phone calls from a temp agency that never calls at all
 
It's never easy but it's always
 
[Chorus]
      C      G        C     G           C       G
The electric flow and dirty clothes and student loans
   D
Oh god, you gotta pay 'em
      C      G        C     G           C       G
The electric flow and dirty clothes and student loans
   D
Oh god, you gotta pay 'em
 
[Bridge]
      Em                      F                       G
The attack, I'm feeling the attack, I'm feeling the attack
                         A                           Em
Of basic social skills I know I know I know I know I lack
                       F                                 G
I'm hyper cognizant of facts, I'm well aware that we are barely scr*ping by
          A
My good intentions aren't enough to salvage that
Em                        F
Give me one, give me two, give me three four five
G                          A                              Em
Give me more per hour so I can afford to pay for food and gas
                           F                               G
And bags to throw away the trash, you gotta throw away the trash
 
G Em G Em
 
B                               Em                          B
It's hard to pay the bills when you can't work a forty hour week
                            Em                         B
It's hard to interview when I am too depressed to even speak
                               Em                                  B
It's hard to have a blast when we spend all our spare time feeling weak
 
Because we're thinking about that
 
[Chorus]
  C      G        C     G           C       G
Electric flow and dirty clothes and student loans
   D
Oh god, you gotta pay 'em
      C      G        C       G         C     G
The electric flow and student loans and dirty clothes
   D
Oh god, you gotta clean 'em
 
[Outro]
      Em                      F                       G
The attack, I'm feeling the attack, I'm feeling the attack
                         A                           Em
Of basic social skills I know I know I know I know I lack
                       F                                 G
I'm hyper cognizant of facts, I'm well aware that we are barely scr*ping by
          A
My good intentions aren't enough to salvage that
Em                        F
Give me one, give me two, give me three four five
G                          A                              Em
Give me more per hour so I can afford to pay for food and gas
                           F
And bags to throw away the trash
 
You gotta throw away
