Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

The future's uncertain and the end is always near
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

and I won't mind the people when they stare
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
