Making a Killing Lyrics
Cut your losses
Cut your ties
Start a new life
These things they can
Tie you up, weigh you down
Wear you in they wear you out
Once day you could
Find yourself suddenly
Underneath the guillotine
You'll have to answer up for
What you want and what that means
That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Why don't you buy yourself a gift?
For the work you've been putting in
Maybe a little something
You could toss into that pit
Of emptiness you're pregnant with
Or maybe you could go and
Lose yourself all together
Nothing's getting any better!
Oh no!
Is that what you really want?
After all is said and done with me?
That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Like bills in a short stack and
Bills to the ceiling
Making a living and
Making a killing
Well I found myself suddenly
Underneath that guillotine
For heaven's sake I'm here I'm willing
Let's making everyone a killing!

if you listen closely at the end of the bridge/breakout/middle part, you can hear him chanting: "who's that making cotton candy, who's that making cotton candy, who's that making cotton on the dance floor"
just a fun fact
This song is clearly about COTTON CANDY!
