I can live off gratitude
Be thankful for the things you do
All this great publicity
Take all you want, it's for free

Work real hard and don't get paid
But save your money, I'm okay
On a special currency
I'm cashing checks at the exposure bank

We have so many loyal fans
It's good to know our future rests in their hands
We all do this for the thrill
Real musicians don't need much to pay the bills

I can live off gratitude
Be thankful for the things you do
All this great publicity
Take all you want, it's for free

Work real hard and don't get paid
But save your money, I'm okay
On a special currency
I'm cashing checks at the exposure bank

Buying bad music is the worst
Be sure to download every album, piracy comes first
Once you decide that you like it
Get some merchandise and we'll be supported

Yeah, pats on the back
Yeah, live on the streets
You're entitled to our music
You did so much to deserve it

Yeah, download a car
Yeah, don't need to eat
I'll never understand why people
Say that punk is dead

I can live off gratitude
Be thankful for the things you do
All this great publicity
Take all you want, it's for free

Work real hard and don't get paid
But save your money, I'm okay
On a special currency
I'm cashing checks at the exposure bank
