Life on the Nickel
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]But I can't seem to catch a dimeTake a little hit and I lose the time
I took the man and his horseAnd ran before he looked upI said the light's gonna changeBut I'm calm and feeling warmAnd now I'm sticking out my handsAnd feeling weightless again
You got to push, got to shoveI've got to eat before they eat meGot the crown and the cupI've got to write to my familyAnd say, "I'm calm and feeling warm."I'm not quite there, but I'm closeAnd it's a world of a difference
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]But I can't seem to catch a dimeTake a little hit and I lose the time
I've got the worst all behind meYeah they'll never be able to find meI'm the king of the cityI'm a roach and they're all primatesThis is meal timeReal lifeI'm not gonna fightNo, I'm gonna start a war
I've been rightI've been wrongMy smokes have come and goneI've been crazyBeen fed enough to not wind up deadAnd I'm lonelyMy eyes have been closed to the world'Cause the world's got nothing for me
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]But I can't seem to catch a dimeTake a little hit and I lose the time
Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]But I can't seem to catch a dimeTake a little hit and I lose the time
Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
