I’ve been workin’ for minimum wage
and boys I can’t pay my bills that way
something’s gotta give
someone’s always gonna take
and I’m about down to nothin’

You can take my house
you can have my car
but hey leave my bed and my guitar
I’ll watch you mow my lawn from afar
just grinnin’ and singin’ and sleepin’

It’s not that bad
it’s all I have and sir
I bet you’d like to take the clothes off of my back
but I won’t give you that
you can have your money back

I never dreamed I’d have a million bucks
it’s a damn good thing
‘cause I’m broke as fuck
I like to think money doesn’t matter much
but it sure does get you somethin’

No I don’t need you Mercedes Benz
but my car won’t start
and I can’t take it in
meanwhile I’m tryin’ to feed my kids
man have a little mercy

Hey money’s never gonna buy you style
money’s never gonna buy you friends
money’s never gonna satisfy you
you can’t buy love or happiness

There’s nothin’ you have that I need
and wantin’ nothin’ makes me free
next time you come looking for me
I might be off and wanderin’ •
