ADA
All around I hear the sound of money
EA
But I ain't got a nickel to my name
DA
And everywhere I look I see temptation
EA
She stands on every corner and calls my name
ChorusD
Now won't you tell me if you can
A
Cause life's so hard to understand
E
Why's the rich man busy dancin'
A
While the poor man pays the band
DA
Oh they're billing me, for killing me
EA
Lord have mercy on the workin' man
ADA
Uncle Sam's got his hand in my pockets
EA
And he helps himself each time he needs a dime
DA
Them politicians treat me like a mushroom
EA
Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind
(Repeat Chorus)
InstrumentalA - D - AADA
Hey St. Peter look down for a minute
EA
And see this little man about to drown
DA
There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it
EA
Please help me up Lord cause I'm goin' down
(Repeat Chorus x2)
