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!
