A Paycheck Away

Verse 2 Driving to the gas pump/Price keeps going up and up/ Guess those good old oil boys/Really need the bucks/ It surely does seem shady/It sure does seem corrupt/ They’ll probably start another war/And let your grand kids pony up/ And out here in the real world/Hard times are here/right now today/ And havin’ to live out on the street/Is just a paycheck away/

Chorus Just a paycheck away/Just a paycheck away/ Hear me now people/Hear what I say/ Out here in the real world/Hard times are here right now today/ And havin’ to live out on the street/Is just a paycheck away/

Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo

Verse 3 Those slime dogs from Enron/Yeah they did get booked/ But the more that type steals/the more they get let off the hook/ Now we’re goin’ to jail/If we scam just a lousy dollar/ But corporate crooks run free/Cuz their crimes are big and white collar/ And out here in the real world/Hard times are here/right now today/ And havin’ to live out on the street/Is just a paycheck away/

Verse 4 Politicians keep talking/Most of them are bought/ While everything around us/Continues to slowly rot/ But don’t you worry baby/The Prez says everything’s fine/ Says that ain’t levees you hear breakin’/It’s only angels/singin’ in your mind/ But out here in the real world/Hard times are here/right now today/ And havin’ to live out on the street/Is just a paycheck away/

Chorus Just a paycheck away/Just a paycheck away/ Hear me now people/Hear what I say/ Out here in the real world/Hard times are here right now today/ And havin’ to live out on the street/Is just a paycheck away/
