At Least I Was Paid

I was paid last night in casino chips
Made of corn that was stale
I was paid last week in pizza crusts
Remnants of someone else's
Great meal

At least I was paid
However low your pay
At least you can say
At least I was paid

An Egyptian man spent thirty long years pushing a boulder up a hill
The Pharaoh threw him into the tomb
The king had no respect
For his skill

At least I was paid
However low your pay
At least you can say
At least I was paid

(Play something folks)

There's a volunteer fireman
Who died screaming in the flames
And what about the poor Burmese boy?
Applying gold paint to plastic chains

At least I was paid
However low your pay
At least you can say
At least I was paid

At least we were paid!
