Steve Ripley - Too Much Money Blues Lyrics

I gave the nice lady this old credit card of mine
She said I'm sorry, son, your credit card has been declined

I know we owe too much money - it's tough out there - damn straight
We never missed a payment -ain't never been late

The party is over for the little man - but meanwhile
Those big time credit card banker boys are partyin' it up government bailout style

I got the everything cost too much money blues

I borrowed a million bucks to buy me a new car
But I didn't get to drive it very far
'Cause though it's a dandy quick and slick machine
I can't afford to buy no gasoline

I just leave it parked - ain't got no choice
Bet them oilmen drivin' around in a big Rolls Royce

I got the everything cost too much money blues
How 'bout you? Ain't it got you too
I got the everything cost too much money blues

Now don't get me wrong - I give a damn
I love this country and my Uncle Sam
But what's got me down - you know it only seems fair
Those Wall Street fat cats need to pay their fair share

And I don't mean to complain - but I hear the fact is
Some of those gazillion-dollar corporations don't even pay no taxes

I got the everything cost too much money blues
How bout you? Ain't it got you too?
I got the everything cost too much money blues

Brother how bout you. Ain't it got you too?
I got the everything cost too much money
Everything cost too much money
Everything cost too much money blues
