rusty cage - spare a dime lyrics

[verse 1]

i lament the times of days long past
it as all good, but the world moves so fast
and now it drags on, and when the luxuries are all gone
are you able to deliver when you’re called upon?

it seems we’ve got to settle and live with what we’ve got
even if you’re living out of a car in a parking lot
or crashing on a couch through the kindness of a friend
it seems ridiculous to sit through this and still pretend
that we live the dream, that we’re making cream
but on a closer look, what you see ain’t what it seems
because in reality, we’re barely able to get by
and if you let it, they will keep you there until you die
yet it’s worth a try, and if you make the mark
but if you miss it then you’re back to living in the dark
without the cash to put a bulb in the socket
get a loan from a drone, now you’re back in their pocket

my expense is low, but the price is high
and though i’m working hard, it’s getting harder to get buy
living modestly, delegating every cent
and still a match to scratch the cash enough to pay for rent
despite the aggravation, you set a destination
so now it’s back to school to try and get an education
i could study hard, but what do i see?
a hundred fifty bucks a textbook! you’ve got to be kidding me

[chorus]

i don’t give a f-ck and i don’t pay taxes
i got medicaid prescription gl-sses
wanna buy some lortab, 5 bucks a piece
the doctor gave em to me when i lost my wisdom t–th
a leader will deceive you every time you hear em speak
and keep you in the gutter, i’ve been starving for a week
so listen to my story, if you got the time
hey and by the way, brother can you spare a dime

[verse 2]

i’m not a victim, just a product of environment
i know my father’s gonna work through his retirement
i know my mother’s gonna live out her days
thanking god for any job paying minimum wage
i know there’s no chance of any -ssurance
no doctor visits, no health insurance
pip or dental, my furniture is rental
my dinner is a winner, ramen noodles, oriental

my life is detrimental, but what can you do?
if you understand the lyrics then you’re feeling this too
and they say that we can make a difference, but you gotta ask
why it is that every politician wears a mask
why it is that every president’s the same
and yet we get so patriotic when we’re playing the game
but if you don’t give a f-ck, then f-ck it
and if you do, whatever you do is just another drop in the bucket

[chorus]

cause i don’t give a f-ck and i don’t pay taxes
i got medicaid prescription gl-sses
wanna buy some lortab, 5 bucks a piece
the doctor gave em to me when i lost my wisdom t–th
a leader will deceive you every time you hear em speak
and keep you in the gutter, i’ve been starving for a week
so listen to my story, if you got the time
hey and by the way, brother can you spare a dime

[outro]

cause i don’t give a f-ck and i don’t pay taxes
i got medicaid prescription gl-sses
wanna buy some lortab, 5 bucks a piece
the doctor gave em to me when i lost my wisdom t–th
a leader will deceive you everytime you hear em speak
and keep you in the gutter, i’ve been starving for a week
so listen to my story, if you got the time
hey and by the way, brother can you spare a dime?

hey and by the way, brother can you spare a dime?
hey and by the way, brother can you spare a dime?
hey and by the way, brother can you spare a dime?
