The rats are rising out of the gutters
I watch as my smoke dissipates in the light
Shining like the metal at the end of the night
Plays as I disappear in the night

So if you're waiting for an apology
I bet that you'll probably be waiting for good
Cause buddy I know how to be a bigger person
But I just ain't so sure that I should

Cause anybody can tell that you're acting
And you're practicing so hard to be tough
But what are you going to do
When someone tougher than you calls out your bluff
Oh it'll never be enough

So whatta ya say we stop with all the postering
It's about time we get our egos in check
Cause I don't give a shit about how big your band is
I don't give a shit about the check

Cause there's a reason why we're dying, trying
Got us flying higher up and above
Cause we don't do it for the money honey
No, we only do it for love
And it will always be enough

If you're workin' for love
If you're workin' for love

If you're workin' for love
It will always be enough

But if you're workin' for love
Baby, it will always be enough

If you're workin' for love
It will be enough
