Lyrics
Too Much Month at the End of the Money
Saw my friend Jon, that’s his real name, looking tired and beat
Said he was working two jobs, trying to make ends meet
Burning the candle at both ends till the wick was gone
Didn’t have nobody to depend on
Jon told his wife, “I hate to tell you honey
There’s too much month at the end of the money”
He said, "Car payments, mortgage, cable, Internet
Smart phones, insurance, credit cards got me in debt
Trying to make a living in the disappearing middle class
All I can say is American dream, my ass
I wish I was kidding, but it just ain’t funny
There’s too much month at the end of the money.”
Keep your nose to the grindstone that's what they told me
I’m about to cross the line called poverty
I may just have to declare bankruptcy
There's too much month at the end of the money
Well he said, there's gotta be more than one way to skin this cat
Just what it might be, well I don’t know that
Everything the kids want costs an arm and a leg
Fell like I’m sitting on a financial powder keg
I did the math and I’m no dummy
There's too much month at the end of the money
There’s too much month at the end of the money
There’s too much month at the end of the money
I thought there was supposed to be an economic recovery
All I know, it hasn't trickled down to me
There’s too much month at the end of the money
