A joyous song celebrating the freedom that comes when you don't owe anybody anything, monetarily or otherwise, and you become free to bask in the satisfaction of working and living for your own happiness.

lyrics

Everything a mystery
All the words you said to me
My head was in the clouds
A blessing I can see you now
And I didn’t care where we were
Vision all ablur
Always out to get some more
From the hands I so adore

But I’m paid up
Thousand debts but I made amends
And I’m paid up
So don’t think twice just tell me yeah

I like when you sit next to me
Cos life has no guarantees
When is it enough to know
Oh I’m lying at the foot of your throne
So come and tell me how you feel
And I’ll show you how to be real
No one put your shackles on
Oh it's money that's the life-long con

But I’m paid up
Thousand debts but I made amends
And I’m paid up
So don’t think twice just tell me yeah

Well here I am, out of a jam and I’ve been been feeling alright
Got a new lease on a new life

But I’m paid up
Thousand debts but I made amends
And I’m paid up
So don’t think twice just tell me yeah
Said baby I’m paid up
Thousand debts but I made amends
And I’m paid up
So don’t think twice just tell me yeah
