Lyrics
High on the hog on the gravy train
Tramp on the corner, searchin' for change
Man in the suit he's a rakin' it in
Selling the devil to the children
& I am Nickel & Dimin
Headed southbound on a silver plane
A pocket full of loot in a snakeskin boot
I'm hand to mouth, baby that's ok
Waitin for the day, when I'm gonna get my pay
Nickel & Dimin
Prayin for peanuts, playin for change
Thoroughbred winner in the hall of shame
Penny in a pinch, people in a slump
World runnin wild in the garbage dump
& I am Nickel & DImin
Knockin' em dead & laying it down
Slippin' it with a golden touch
She got the dollar she's stinking rich
Down at the bottom of the barrel with a 7 year itch
Yeah I am Nickel & Dimin
Mama getting milked makin minimum wage
Daddy bone thin he ain't got a fund
Baby's in black with a silver spoon
Celebrating with a pink balloon
Nickel & Dimin
Wolf at the door, collectin the debt
Sheep in the herd, wanna get wet
Rats in the race, spending the cash
Put em to sleep with a shotgun blast
Nickel & DImin
