addicted to a dollar

eighty hours a week

that's what i call work

and this black under my blue collar is his best pay dirt

they work me hard from dawn to dusk

doin' double time puttin' out sweat for a filthy buck

f.i.c.a. and the state

they make my paycheck look like a big mistake

tax man takes his before i see a cent

and what they don't get

i've already spent

i'm addicted to a dollar

that ain't worth a dime

i pick up my paycheck and pass it on down the line

the more money that i'm making

the less i can call mine

well

i'm addicted to a dollar

that ain't worth a dime

got me more payments than i've got checks

ten more to go on this car

it's a wreck

landlord's at my door

it's a life of hard knocks

when all i really want is my piece of the rock
