Flash In The Pan

Verse I:
People work for pennies nickels and dimes
While the rich get gold the poor are slavin' in the mines
It's such a sad sad sight to see
Aint a soul in sight that they would ever wanna be
Paycheck to paycheck to paycheck please
This is borderline insanity
We've all been feeling like a flash in the pan
When you're so well off it can be hard to understand

Verse II:
Hard larbor is a slow slow killer
So the rich get fat and the poor get thinner
Southbound driving I 95
Like the willow I weep like the willow I cry
Hotel to motel to hotel please
Break my mind and my sanity
I used to say I wasn't looking for love
But now you're running through my mind
And you're running through my blood

Verse III:
Swing the hammer till your skin and bone
And when you think you had enough just a' keep on goin
I left my sense far far behind, in some faraway place
That I ain't ever gonna find
Tryin and tryin and tryin hard
I'm gonna try until I fall apart
It got me feeling like a flash in the pan
When you're so well off it can be hard to understand "
