Song for a Dollar |
| Peddle them on the street |
| You turned out any old thing to sing |
| 'Cause you got to have something to eat |
| But how many steaks can you chew, boy? |
| How many cars can you drive? |
| And how many Moon-in-June tap tunes |
| Can you write before you’re a lie? |
| You know, a song for a dollar make a dead man holler |
| Louder than the squalor he comes from |
| Well, you sang your songs for the nations |
| That’ve been heard around the Earth |
| You ain’t got no moral |
| Money is only worth |
| But how many suits can you wear, boy? |
| And how many homes can you own? |
| How many rhymes with dimes limes |
| Can you turn up before you’re grown? |
| You know, a song for a dollar make a dead man holler |
| Louder than the squalor he comes from |
| For 32 full seasons, you’ve been playing the game |
| Part of plan you flim-flam man, get some fortune and fame |
| But how many times can you lie, boy? |
| How many games can you play? |
| Before you get down to TCB |
| And say what you gotta say |
| You know, a song for a dollar make a dead man holler |
| Louder than the squalor he comes from |
| Now, you hope it’s being written, long before you’re dead |
| By autonomous anonymous, guys who think you’re red |
| But how many do you strive for |
| Leaving the money express |
| Till it gets clear that there is no fear |
| When the man is fully undressed |
| You know, a song for a dollar make a dead man holler |
| Louder than the squalor he comes from |
