Juice cut with water
Trick of the trade
When you're not made
Of dollars
Don't let your kids see you sweat
In the lowest tax bracket
No shame
Lettuce and mayo on bread
Kept us kids fed
Cut off jean shorts in the summer
Gotta do what you gotta do, to cut a corner
Livin' within' our means
Was a necessity
In the summer of '93
Smallest house on Gregg Street
Better school to learn how to read
If I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't have been runnin' round
All wild and free
Third generation, hand-me-downs
Just Handin' down
To learn to love what you've found
Had my mothers' envy
Of being free
Of responsibility
Lettuce and mayo on bread
Didn't know what I was missin'
Cut off jean shorts in the summer
Gotta do what you gotta do, to cut a corner
Livin' within' our means
Was a necessity
In the summer of '93
Smallest house on the richest street
Better school to learn how to read
If I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't have been runnin' around
All wild and free
Generics a lifestyle
Cereals in a bag
How many kids
Can you fit in a station wagon
Red tag
Red tag
Red tag, sale
Cut off jean shorts in the summer
Gotta do what you gotta do, to cut a corner
Livin' within' our means
Was a necessity
In the summer of '93
Smallest house on Gregg Street
Better school to learn how to read
If I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't have been runnin' round
All wild and free
