Chump Change

(album: The Deep End - 2022)

Give me a break I don't need this today
Started out sunny now it's cold and grey
The crazy things I have to do and say
All for a little chump change

Some say money doesn't grow on trees
And sometimes you gotta go down on your knees
We work all our lives just hoping to see
A bank account full of chump change

Silver and Green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
Know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change

I gave her my money
I never kept track
Then I found out she spent it all on crack
She was my friend and but she ain't coming back
That is how it will remain

I finally found you when the money was gone
All I had to give you was a joke and a song
Wasting my time when I knew along
I was only in it for the chump change

Like winning at cards
Getting it's hard
To arrange
Everyone knows
It comes and it goes
Some people sell their souls
For a little chump change

Some say Death is just a hole in the sky
Other people tell me he's a real nice guy
I'll try and survive until the day that I die
Just to leave you all a chunk of chump change

Silver and green
Sparkles and gleams
Ain't it strange?
Nickels and dimes
Know what I mean?
We all sacrifice so much
For a bit of chump change

Some people sell their souls and it's all in vain
We all sacrifice our lives for a bit of chump change
