Working overtime just to make ends meet. Don't get sick or miss a day or you'll be on the street. I will work for food, the man says with a sign. While our faces wait for checks in the unemployment line. Hey mister can you spare a dime? I'm poor, I'm hungry, and I've lost my mind (x4). So here am I, in my safe cocoon. It's not my problem - what happens to you. Close my wallet day after day. Don't feel your desperation - just go away. Hey mister can you spare a dime? I'm poor, I'm hungry, and I've lost my mind (x4).
Hey you - can you help me here? You - with the nice suit and the briefcase. Spare a change? (x7). Hey mister can you spare a dime? I'm poor, I'm hungry, and I've lost my mind (x4).
