Lifespan of a Dollar

[Verse 1]
What’s the lifespan of a dollar?
How long can this paper last?
How many hands does it take to rub the magic away?
How many do I need to take my pain away?
We worry because we have to, while some throw it away
If this dollar is freedom, why is it my cage?

[Chorus]
Sing a song, do a dance, whatever you can to get paid
Sing a song, do a dance to ease the pain

[Verse 2]
Hard times, sometimes is all we can see
And I can’t lie, we might not get free
But please, please, just live for me
You never, never know what the future brings

[Chorus]
Sing a song, do a dance, whatever you can to get paid
Sing a song, do a dance to ease the pain
Sing a song, do a dance, whatever you can to get paid
Sing a song, do a dance to ease the pain

[Outro]
Ease the pain, ease the pain, ease the pain
