Rusty Cage - Spare a dime

^AmI lament the times of days long past ^E7It as all good, but the w^A7orld moves so fast And now it ^Ddrags on, and when the l^G7uxuries are all gone ^CAre you able to ^E7deliver when you're called upon?

^Dm/FIt seems we've got to ^E7settle and live with what we've ^Amgot Even if you're living out of a ^F7car in a parking lot ^Dm6Or crashing on a ^E7couch through the kindness of a ^Amfriend

^AmThat we live the dream, that we're making cream ^E7But on a closer look, ^A7what you see ain't what it seems ^DBecause in reality, we're ^G7barely able to get by ^CAnd if you let it, they will ^E7keep you there until you die ^Dm/FYet it's worth a ^E7try, and if you make the ^Ammark But if you miss it then you're ^F7back to living in the dark ^Dm6Without the cash to put a bulb in the ^E7socket Get a ^Amloan from a drone, now you're back in their pocket

^AmMy expense is low, but the price is hi^E7gh And though I'm working hard, it's ^A7getting harder to get by ^DLiving modestly, ^G7delegating every c^Cent And still a match to scratch the c^E7ash enough to pay for rent ^Dm/FDespite the aggravation, y^E7ou set a destination ^AmSo now it's back to school to ^F7try and get an education ^Dm6I could study hard, but ^E7what do I see? ^AmA hundred fifty bucks a textbook! You've got to be kidding me

I ^Amdon't give a fuck and I don't pay taxes I ^E7got medicaid ^A7prescription glasses ^DWanna buy some l^G7ortab, 5 bucks a ^Cpiece The doctor gave em to me ^E7when I lost my wisdom teeth ^Dm/FA leader will deceive you ^E7every time you hear em speak ^AmAnd keep you in the gutter, ^F7I've been starving for a week ^Dm6So listen to my s^E7tory, if you got the ^Amtime

^AmI'm not a victim, just a product of environment ^E7I know my father's gonna ^A7work through his retirement ^DI know my mother's gonna ^G7live out her days Thanking ^Cgod for any job paying ^E7minimum wage ^Dm/FI know there's no chance of ^E7any assurance ^AmNo doctor visits, ^F7no health insurance ^Dm6PIP or dental, my f^E7urniture is rental My ^Amdinner is a winner, ramen noodles, oriental

My ^Amlife is detrimental, but what can you do? If you ^E7understand the lyrics then you're ^A7feeling this too And they ^Dsay that we can make a ^G7difference, but you gotta ^Cask Why it is that every ^E7politician wears a mask ^Dm/FWhy it is that every ^E7president's the same And yet we ^Amget so patriotic when we're ^F7playing the game But if you ^Dm6don't give a fuck, then ^E7fuck it And if you ^Amdo, whatever you do is just another drop in the bucket

^AmI don't give a fuck and I don't pay taxes I ^E7got medicaid ^A7prescription glasses ^DWanna buy some l^G7ortab, 5 bucks a ^Cpiece The doctor gave em to me ^E7when I lost my wisdom teeth ^Dm/FA leader will deceive you ^E7every time you hear em speak ^AmAnd keep you in the gutter, ^F7I've been starving for a week ^Dm6So listen to my s^E7tory, if you got the ^Amtime
