I'm workin' 40 hours
|
And mroe if I can get it
|
Still need an extra job
|
So I can get more credit
|
Well, I work hard because we charged
|
Tomorrow yesterday
|
I'm in debt over my head
|
The American way
|
|
It's already spent
|
Every dime I'll ever make
|
From the high cost of living
|
And what the government takes
|
I don't have to worry
|
Or wonder where it went
|
I sleep like a baby
|
'Cause it's already spent
|
|
I hear 'em talkin' on TV
|
'Bout where we should invest
|
Stocks and bonds, mutual funds
|
401s and the rest
|
Well my retirement plan's a coffee can
|
And it's full of IOUs
|
My money goes to those I owe
|
And I bet you yours does too
|
|
It's already spent
|
Every dime I'll ever make
|
From the high cost of living
|
And what the government takes
|
I don't have to worry
|
Or wonder where it went
|
I sleep like a baby
|
'Cause it's already spent
|
|
Yeah, it's already spent
|
Every dime we'll ever make
|
From the high cost of living
|
And what the government takes
|
We don't have to worry
|
Or wonder where it went
|
We sleep like babies
|
'Cause it's already spent
|
We'll sleep just like babies
|
'Cause it's already spent
|
|
Every last dime
|
