Lyrics
Five and Dime (c)2009 Thompson My home town was like any other One kids dad was as tough as anothers The whole dang town shut down on Wednesday after Noon Saturdays we'd watch Bugs Bunny Back in the days when the funnies were funny I'd sell coke bottles for cash after watching cartoons I'd save every penny I found Then I'd march on into town To the Five and Dime, what happend to those times? Everything changed when wally took over the world Now he's bigger than the mob ya'll, But mom and pop can't find a job ya'll We need to get back to the days of the Five and Dime Something smelled when wall street fell And the good ol' days got shot to hell When are the boys sittin at the top gonna stop stealin' us blind Seem's they all have sticky paws Break the laws just because They know Uncle Sam ain't a beast that would eat his own kind Those wolves never cut us any slack Can't some one get us back To the Five and Dime, what happend to those times? Everything changed when wally took over the world Now he's bigger than the mob ya'll, But mom and pop can't find a job ya'll We need to get back to the days of the Five and Dime Breakdown: Tell me how much is enough A lotta folks have got it tough CEO's are sippin wine I'm in the unemployment line Another pink slip in the mail I hope we left a piecrumb trail So we can find our way back to the days....Of the Five and Dime The Five and Dime What happened to the days of the Five and Dime
