Yeah, I've been in debt, from conception
And I'll pay for the rest of your life
As long as I mail my bills and look me in the eye
You can have it now, but you gotta pay for it later
You work me up, I pay my plan
Now you're working for the man, yeah
Hey got you goin' in, they got you comin' out
Same amount, in 'n' out
There ain't no way 'round the system
Money makes this world go 'round
All the way, they got you down
Sing and add it up, for throwing yourself out the window
My conscience loves to stick around
One more payment, lay it down, on the ground
Same amount, in 'n' out
Uh uh uhu yeah, uh uh uhu yeah, uh uh uhu yeah, ooh c'mon

Hey it all depends how you see it
It's a plan or an opportunity
One thing for certain, you're gettin' nothin' free
I never met a man doesn't owe somebody somethin', no
No way to get free 'n' clear
Only deeper, year after year, oh yeah
Well they got you comin' in, well they got you goin' out
Got you comin' in, for the same amount, goin' out!
Uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out)
Uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out)
Well they got you goin' in, they got you comin' out
Same amount, in 'n' out
Uh uh uhu (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu (in 'n' out)
Uh uh uhu (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu (in 'n' out)
Uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out)
Uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out)
Oh they got you comin' in, for the same amount
Goin' out, in 'n' out
Uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out)
Uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out), uh uh uhu yeah (in 'n' out)...

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
