In Between Jobs

If I had a nickel for every dime you had

I'd have half your money, you talk about "not half-bad"

More like ten times as good

I don't know anyone that wouldn't wanna hold on to all they had if they could

If you could just come off a little bit of money though

That would surely do me good

I'm in between jobs

[Chorus]

Can you dig it? I knew that you could

Can you dig it? I was hopin' you would

There's only one way to win this shell game:

Be the one that gets the other guy to play

You think I'm not very bright, and you might be right

I might've been born yesterday, but I was up all night

I mighta come in here a little blind side lookin' but I still see light

It may be through cheap sunglasses but

Still shines as bright down on you when you

In between jobs

[Chorus]

Can you dig It? I knew that you could

Can you dig it? I was hopin' you would

I seen a hundred dollar bill one time

Blowin' up against a chain link fence

I been walkin' around outside lookin' down at fences ever since

It's the root of all evil, I agree

And I suppose the blossom would be my kinda poverty

I know how mad I'm gettin' just knowin' how much more you've got than me

I'm thinkin', "What's keepin' me from killin' this guy

And takin' his shit?"

Can you dig it?
