Rent

There’s a limitless list of achievements
To make everybody feel obliged
Success, an index that you tick off
To prove that you’re living life «right»
But I believe in the contrary
I measure my achievements simply
And I don’t need to ask nobody else
To know, deep down, I’m doin' well
'Cause I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
It’s not easy to keep that key
So I deliver to the landlord proudly
My residence may not be the flashiest
You could call it a humble abode
Still, the walls stay up, the roof stays on
And the curtains keep out the cold
So, if I compare with my neighbor
Who has many more riches than me
In the words of the Dalai Lama
You’ve gotta think about it relatively, yeah
'Cause I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
It’s not easy to keep that key
So I deliver to the landlord proudly
Maybe the call to be a homeowner
Never dialled my destiny
But I know that time, the earth, and the sky
Belong to everybody
And no matter the situation
If one thing is guaranteed
When the sunlight breaks the morning
I have all I need
Because I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
I can pay my rent
It’s not easy to keep that key
So I deliver to the landlord proudly
