Nickel and Dime

There's a leak in the kitchen
The plumbing is all coming undone
And I've been meaning to fix it
But I ain't got the time or the funds

And my girl, she deserves more
Than a man scraping change to get by
So I starve and I save up enough I can take
Her to some cheap buffet for a night

And it's one after another
Keep working your ass off all day
Right when your luck turns around is when your car will break down
And I'm tired of living this way

I've been trading my time for some nickels and dimes
Helping some rich guy get even more
And I swore I was done working these kinds of jobs
But my pride costs to much to afford

And it's one after another
Can't choose how to use up your pay
You got holes in your shoes, but your rent's overdue
And I'm tired of living this way

And it's one after another
Keep waiting for something to change now
And you dig yourself out, just to fall right back down
And I'm tired of living this way

Wipe those tears from your eyes, and bury deep down inside
That you're tired of living this way
We're all tired
Of living this way
