I need some money

Prices risin' with the sun, wages stay the same

Every time I think I'm up, I'm down, but who's to blame?

Comin' out the grocery store, I feel like I've been beat

Cost of groceries don't make sense, check out the price of meat

Everything is so damn high

I need some money

Cars, gas, taxes too

Clothes, shoes, huh, what can I do?

Buses, rent, it's a cryin' shame

I've been invited to the Poor Boy Hall of Fame

Everything is so damn high

I need some money

Layoffs, strikes have only just begun

Planes, trains, can't afford one

Phones, heat, ask the question why

With the cost of livin' today, you can't afford to die

Everything is so damn high

I Need Some Money
