Give me a break, I don't need this today Started out sunny, now it's cold and gray The crazy things I have to do and say All for a little chump change Some say money doesn't grow on trees Sometimes you gotta go down on your knees Work all our lives just hoping to see A bank account full of chump change Silver and green Sparkles and gleams Ain't it strange? Nickels and dimes You know what I mean? We all sacrifice so much For a bit of chump change I gave her my money, I never kept track Then I found out she spent it all on crack She was my friend, but she ain't coming back That is how it will remain Finally found you when the money was gone All I had to give you was a joke and a song Wasting my time when I knew all along I was only in it for the chump change Like winning at cards Getting it's hard to arrange Everyone knows It comes and it goes Some people sell their souls For a bit of chump change ♪ Some say death is just a hole in the sky Other people tell me he's a real, nice guy I'll try to survive 'til the day that I die Just to leave you all a chunk of chump change Silver and green Sparkles and gleams Ain't it strange? Nickels and dimes You know what I mean? We all sacrifice so much For a bit of chump change Some people sell their souls, and it's all in vain We all sacrifice our lives for a bit of chump change
