Eighty hours a week, that´s what I call work
And this black under my blue collar is his best pay dirt.
They work me hard from dawn to dusk
Doin´ double time puttin´ out sweat for a filthy buck.

F.I.C.A. and the state
They make my paycheck look like a big mistake.
Tax man takes his before I see a cent
And what they don´t get, I´ve already spent.

I´m addicted to a dollar , that ain´t worth a dime.
I pick up my paycheck and pass it on down the line.
The more money that I´m making, the less I can call mine.
Well, I´m addicted to a dollar , that ain´t worth a dime.

Got me more payments than I´ve got checks.
Ten more to go on this car, it´s a wreck.
Landlord´s at my door, it´s a life of hard knocks.

When all I really want is my piece of the rock.

I´m addicted to a dollar , that ain´t worth a dime.
I pick up my paycheck and pass it on down the line.
The more money that I´m making, the less I can call mine.
Well, I´m addicted to a dollar , that ain´t worth a dime.

I´m addicted to a dollar , that ain´t worth a dime.
I pick up my paycheck and pass it on down the line.
The more money that I´m making, the less I can call mine.
Well, I´m addicted to a dollar , that ain´t worth a dime.
