dime, dime, penny dime
electric six
i make a little money playing rock and roll
this is something i can do within the terms of my parole
it's a numberless crime when times are tough
i can rock around the block
i see an old lady walking down the street
i'm hungry for crime when it's time to eat
'cause when i do it right nobody gets hurt
mostly 'cause i'm in the backseat
you gotta take what you do
even if it don't belong to you
only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
put my before the won't be doing any time
when i'm doing that which i desire
it's a pretty good living
society likes that i get paid
it's a horn of plenty filled with green
with better odds than a slot machine
ain't she carrying impressive sums
i barely got nothing here for you
only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
put my before the won't be doing any time
c'mon open up with bad luck
i can't even talk about going straight
it's a high-ball dusty coming for me
see my fortune going absurd
she looks like she's got money to burn
looks like it's finally my day
but i can't believe my eyes
it really shouldn't come as a surprise
only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
put my before the won't be doing any time
if i had three pennies there's a quarter of a dime
i'd be doing just fine with 69
