Version 1 of the lyrics

  The hero in the big white house  The hero in the big white house
  Shakes his head and moans about  Shakes his head and moans about
  The misery of his fellow man  The misery of his fellow man
  Just as though he really cared  Just as though he really cared
  While the hand he holds behind his back  While the hand he holds behind his back
  Conceals the truth from those he is deceivin'  Conceals the truth from those he is deceivin'
1   1
  The camera rolls another reel  The camera rolls another reel
  While the robots on the hill  While the robots on the hill
  Are dashing madly to and fro  Are dashing madly to and fro
  Smiling at the status quo  Smiling at the status quo
  While in the secret, smoke-filled rooms  While in the secret, smoke-filled rooms
  They sell the very air that you are breathing  They sell the very air that you are breathing
2   2
  When it's payback time  When it's payback time
  And you take that final ride  And you take that final ride
  When there is no place to run to  When there is no place to run to
  And there ain't no place to hide  And there ain't no place to hide
  The supreme court of the universe  The supreme court of the universe
  Where justice is not blind  Where justice is not blind
  And no prisoners will be taken  And no prisoners will be taken
  When it's payback time  When it's payback time
3   3
  Another day, another knife  Another day, another knife
  Another precious unborn life  Another precious unborn life
  Will never see the light of day  Will never see the light of day
  Will never run or jump or play  Will never run or jump or play
  It's just another sacrifice  It's just another sacrifice
1  To that greenback God of choice you are serving   To that greenback god of choice you are serving 1
4   4
  Their blood cries out to be avenged  Their blood cries out to be avenged
  And someday you will cower and cringe  And someday you will cower and cringe
2  Where the books don't lie and the judge don't deal   Where the books don't lie and                          2
1  the judge don't deal1
  No high-priced lawyers to appeal  No high-priced lawyers to appeal
  Where the verdict is eternal  Where the verdict is eternal
3  And you can't escape this [Incomprehensible] that you're deserving   And you can't escape the                                              3

5  When it's payback time                                When it's payback time and heaven rules supreme 5
5  And heaven rules supreme   5
  When your gold and silver's worthless  When your gold and silver's worthless
  And you stand before the King  And you stand before the King
  When your nightmares are reality  When your nightmares are reality
  And there is no exit sign  And there is no exit sign
  And it's too late for repentance  And it's too late for repentance
  When it's payback time  When it's payback time
6   6
  The sun comes up the pendulum swings  The sun comes up the pendulum swings
  And each new frightening morning brings  And each new frightening morning brings
  The children's cries, the cannon roar  The children's cries, the cannon roar
  More loudly than the day before  More loudly than the day before
  The wax of time is drippin' down  The wax of time is drippin' down
6  From both ends of that candle brightly burning   From both ends of that candle burning brightly 6
7   7
  A mighty shout, a trumpet blast  A mighty shout, a trumpet blast
7  When the last is first,      the first is last   When the last is first and the first is last 7
  The world is hushed and time stands still  The world is hushed and time stands still
  And the final chapter is fulfilled  And the final chapter is fulfilled
  The sky will part each knee will bow  The sky will part each knee will bow
  To greet the awesome hour of His returning  To greet the awesome hour of His returning
8   8
  When it's payback time  When it's payback time
  And the sheep are gathered in  And the sheep are gathered in
  When the roll is called up yonder  When the roll is called up yonder
  And eternity begins  And eternity begins
  When the wedding supper's ready  When the wedding supper's ready
  And the faithful called to dine  And the faithful called to dine
  Who'll be sitting at the table  Who'll be sitting at the table
  When it's payback time  When it's payback time
  Payback time  Payback time
