I'm no slave to the almighty dollar
I'm no stranger to burning it at both ends
A honest dime is hard to find
In the age of get it while you can
And I'm no good cause I'm no greedy man
No I'm the fool walking forward in a turned around world
That rewards man's transgressions of avarice unfurled
You'd think that you could make it
Singing good and trying to write like Merle
But I'm the fool walking forward in a turned around world
It's hard to make it on 1/300 of the bossman's salary
And you can't live without what they got and you can't have
A honest dime, it starts to shine when death creeps a little closer
I'd like to have a few before this ones over
I'm the fool walking forward in a turned around world
That rewards man's transgressions of avarice unfurled
You'd think that you could make it
Singing good and trying to write like Merle
But I'm the fool walking forward in a turned around world
