More For Your Money
When I was a kid, candy was a nickel
Had some roller skates and a red bicycle
It was the land of the brave, home of the free
Some of our jobs jumped over the sea
It was a high price to pay
You're gettin' more for your money today
Way back then Daddy had his own business
He was a self-made man, he was independent
Then they opened this store, took up a city block
Whatever you need you know they got it
It was a high price to pay
You're gettin' more for your money today
Well, I needed a part for my washing machine
They picked up the call in the Philippines
I got a Chinese phone and a Japanese car
But the gasoline takes me twice as far
Let's pick it, boys
Bernie Madoff with the rich folks' money
They didn't think that was very funny
Well, the Dow is up but the chips are down
And there ain't very many good jobs around
It was a high price to pay
To get more for your money today
Last night I had a terrible dream
I was eatin' these cookies and chocolate ice cream
And the government didn't want to pay the debt
And the whole damn country got repossessed
It was a high price to pay
To get more for your money today
It was a high price to pay
You're gettin' more
For your money today
