Chump Change
Give me a break, I don't need this today
Started out sunny, now it's cold and gray
The crazy things I have to do and say
All for a little chump change
Some say money doesn't grow on trees
Sometimes you gotta go down on your knees
Work all our lives just hoping to see
A bank account full of chump change
Silver and green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
You know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change
I gave her my money, I never kept track
Then I found out she spent it all on crack
She was my friend, but she ain't coming back
That is how it will remain
Finally found you when the money was gone
All I had to give you was a joke and a song
Wasting my time when I knew all along
I was only in it for the chump change
Like winning at cards
Getting it's hard to arrange
Everyone knows
It comes and it goes
Some people sell their souls
For a bit of chump change
Some say death is just a hole in the sky
Other people tell me he's a real, nice guy
I'll try to survive 'til the day that I die
Just to leave you all a chunk of chump change
Silver and green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
You know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change
Some people sell their souls, and it's all in vain
We all sacrifice our lives for a bit of chump change
Started out sunny, now it's cold and gray
The crazy things I have to do and say
All for a little chump change
Some say money doesn't grow on trees
Sometimes you gotta go down on your knees
Work all our lives just hoping to see
A bank account full of chump change
Silver and green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
You know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change
I gave her my money, I never kept track
Then I found out she spent it all on crack
She was my friend, but she ain't coming back
That is how it will remain
Finally found you when the money was gone
All I had to give you was a joke and a song
Wasting my time when I knew all along
I was only in it for the chump change
Like winning at cards
Getting it's hard to arrange
Everyone knows
It comes and it goes
Some people sell their souls
For a bit of chump change
Some say death is just a hole in the sky
Other people tell me he's a real, nice guy
I'll try to survive 'til the day that I die
Just to leave you all a chunk of chump change
Silver and green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
You know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change
Some people sell their souls, and it's all in vain
We all sacrifice our lives for a bit of chump change
