[Intro]
[spoken
Deadpan]
Use my exact words
I ain't gay but twenty bucks is twenty bucks?
[Verse 1]
Laugh it off
But you still hit send
Phone lit up
With that joke to your friends
Big talk
About lines you’d never cross
But the rent came due
And the card got lost
[Pre-Chorus]
How tough are you
When the tab runs high
When the bill says bleed
Do you still deny?
[Chorus]
I ain't gay but twenty bucks is twenty bucks
That's what you said
With a shrug and a nervous chuckle
All that pride
All that bark
All that bluff
Cracks in your mask
For a crumpled little bundle
I ain't gay but twenty bucks is twenty bucks
[Verse 2]
Cheap beer
And you’re selling out your spine
Big grin
But it twitches at the sides
You swear
It’s a bit
Just a throwaway line
But the words taste real
When you say them the third time
[Pre-Chorus]
How strong are you
When your luck runs dry
Will you sell your soul
Just to get by?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You keep repeating it
Like it clears your name
But a price tag printed
Still looks the same
[lift into screams]
Is it just a joke
Or a bargain with your shame?
You wrote the rule
Now choke on the game
[Chorus]
