Plug Nickel

I’m not sorry I don’t wonder anymore
Got no answers and bad credit like before
I don’t get it-House and Senate-it won’t fly
Take this mortgage take this money by and by
Over easy out of ideas out of steam
Continental, JP Morgan: the cream team

I’m a lucky guy.
Here’s the reason why: this plug nickel life

Most people charmed by their thoughtful ignorance
Politicians camping online on the fence
Single payer city mayor out of steam
Bonwit Teller-preppie princess-Field & Stream
America under focus PBS
Super cable and Anderson Vanderbilt

I’m a lucky guy.
Here’s the reason why: this plug nickel life

Almost forty-almost fifty-fifty two
Take a morning or a lifetime just to do
All this packing-point of order-no return
Better living entry-level crash and burn
I got buried in arrangements like before
I took tickets out of ideas by the score
I’m not bitter I’m just tired of the fight
Drink to forget drink to regret drink all night!

I’m a lucky guy. I don’t even try.
I will live and die never knowing why
Time to say goodbye to this plug nickel life
