Well, I'm addicted to a dollar, that ain't worth a dime
Ten more to go on this car, it's a wreck
I pick up my paycheck and pass it on down the line
Landlord's at my door, it's a life of hard knocks
They work me hard from dawn to dusk
Doin' double time puttin' out sweat for a filthy buck
When all I really want is my piece of the rock
I pick up my paycheck and pass it on down the line
Taxman takes his before I see a cent
Well, I'm addicted to a dollar, that ain't worth a dime
The more money that I'm making, the less I can call mine
They make my paycheck look like a big mistake
Got me more payments than I've got checks
I'm addicted to a dollar, that ain't worth a dime
The more money that I'm making, the less I can call mine
I pick up my paycheck and pass it on down the line
And what they don't get, I've already spent
F.I.C.A. and the state
I'm addicted to a dollar, that ain't worth a dime
I'm addicted to a dollar, that ain't worth a dime
The more money that I'm making, the less I can call mine
