All the Misery Money Can Buy

A penny for your thoughts; a dollar for your grave Die for what you bought: the life of a slave Every life is a wishing well. Every wish is a day Every day is a living Hell, just tryin' to make it pay We're caught in a world that's turned upside down We're looking for something that just can't be found I feel forsaken and I don't know why We're busy making all the misery money can buy All the misery money can buy All the misery money can buy Standing still on the interstate; I can't afford no toll All the money that we make, it can't buy back our soul We're caught in a world that's turned upside down We're looking for something that just can't be found I feel forsaken and I don't know why We're busy making all the misery All the misery money can buy All the misery money can buy I was born under the sign of the gun Bullet in the chamber, hammer under Sam's thumb I was told everything is for sale And so I sold my soul to the company jail They gave me one pill for depression two pills to get high Three pills for the pressure four pills to survive All the misery money can buy
