"Chump Change" lyrics
"Chump Change"
Give me a break I don't need this today
Started out sunny now it's cold and grey
The crazy things I have to do and say
All for a little chump change
Some say money doesn't grow on trees
And sometimes you gotta go down on your knees
We work all our lives just hoping to see
A bank account full of chump change
Silver and Green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
Know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change
I gave her my money
I never kept track
Then I found out she spent it all on crack
She was my friend and but she ain't coming back
That is how it will remain
I finally found you when the money was gone
All I had to give you was a joke and a song
Wasting my time when I knew along
I was only in it for the chump change
Like winning at cards
Getting it's hard
To arrange
Everyone knows
It comes and it goes
Some people sell their souls
For a little chump change
Some say Death is just a hole in the sky
Other people tell me he's a real nice guy
I'll try and survive until the day that I die
Just to leave you all a chunk of chump change
Silver and green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
Know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change
Some people sell their souls and it's all in vain
We all sacrifice our lives for a bit of chump change

The Smithereens - "Downbound Train" I had a job, I had a girl
Had something going, mister, in this world
I got laid off down at the yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the car wash
Where all it ever does is rain...
Toad The Wet Sprocket - "New Constellation" Oh oh oh oh oh
Hey, what's that thing I can't remember?
How did I get so far off center?
It's a fractured view through faulty lenses
What do you trust when you can't trust your senses
But I can...
Guster - "Emily Ivory" Blue skies are opening up
Soon there will be gardens to grow
Emily, now the world is brightening
Look around, look around
Stuck in a tower in a forest
Working her needle and her thread
A Sagittarius...
Nine Days - "2 Straws" If I was living big like a millionaire
With a two story foyer and bowling stairs
A bear skin rug and a chandelier
You will give it all up if you weren't here
Oh, wouldn't it be nice if I can sit for...
Collective Soul - "Hollywood" Oh, summer
It never leaves your face
You've got that sunshine
Bright-eyed California
Cotton candy taste
Yeah, Hollywood
You know I love you
More than one man should
Yeah, Hollywood
Well, kiss me,...
