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
