Nickels & Dimes
Well, I've been living so long on chump change
It's all I really know
I keep working away, day after day
I still got nothing to show
But nickels and dimes
Just nickels and dimes
Ain't wasting the rest of my time
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Don't you know, years ago
I thought for sure
I could really make things pay
Wish I knew back then, what I know today
Just nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, yeah
Might as well be commiting a crime, Lord
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Well you know, it's just one step forward two steps to the back
You can't make no big plans
I've been better off, walking the streets
Kicking up bottles and cans
Got no credit card
My checkbook draw is a blank
I keep my whole life savings
On a shelve in a piggy bank
I've been living so long on chump change
I've been slowly killed
I just can't find my way
I'm beggining to loose my will
Nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
Ain't wasting the rest of my time, Lord
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Might as well be commiting a crime, Lord
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Yeah, I ain't wasting the rest of my time
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
It's all I really know
I keep working away, day after day
I still got nothing to show
But nickels and dimes
Just nickels and dimes
Ain't wasting the rest of my time
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Don't you know, years ago
I thought for sure
I could really make things pay
Wish I knew back then, what I know today
Just nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, yeah
Might as well be commiting a crime, Lord
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Well you know, it's just one step forward two steps to the back
You can't make no big plans
I've been better off, walking the streets
Kicking up bottles and cans
Got no credit card
My checkbook draw is a blank
I keep my whole life savings
On a shelve in a piggy bank
I've been living so long on chump change
I've been slowly killed
I just can't find my way
I'm beggining to loose my will
Nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
Ain't wasting the rest of my time, Lord
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Might as well be commiting a crime, Lord
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
Yeah, I ain't wasting the rest of my time
Working so hard for nickels and dimes
