Eighty hours a week that's what I call work

And this black under my blue collar is his 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 for 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 well 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 and 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 well 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 well the less I can call mine

Well I'm addicted to a dollar that ain't worth a dime
