Another Dollar

I use to know a man. He was happy all the time
If you needed some help. He’d give you his last dime
But I’m as child of the times. That don’t work for me
'Cause when I walk into the store. I want everything I see
Everybody says that if you want to get ahead
If you want to be happy. Got to make some more bread
I don’t know if that’s right. Don’t know what I believe
Cause the more money I got. The more I need
Another day another dollar
Another day more money’s all that matters
Every day you hear me holler
I need some cash in my pocket to make me feel better
I wonder how I’d feel. If I gave half my pay
To the poor I see standing on the street everyday
Well I think about it some, but not that much
See I just ain’t got the time. Too busy chasing a buck
I walk through this world of loneliness and greed
I’ll never make enough money to get me what I need
If it can’t buy love and can’t buy peace of mind
Then I guess a million bucks ain’t worth a poor man’s dime
