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.
|
|
Chorus
|
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.
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|

Repeat Chorus
