Things never seem to go according to plans
So we always end up improvising,
We're not smart enough to have a plan B at hand
So we always end up compromising,
It's killing us to settle with the cards we get
When we know there's much more at stake,
But giving in to pressure is the safest bet
And it's also our biggest mistake.

Chorus:
That's the price we pay (x4)

We never asked to be put into this position
We never had high demands,
We never claimed to be on some kind of mission
Like we had some kind of masterplan,
It's not as if we know exactly what we came for
So we settle for what comes our way,
We're always unprepared for the final encore
What the fuck are we supposed to say.

Chorus

Every move we make every step we take that's the price we pay,
Every rule we break, every move we fake that's the price we pay! (x2)
