Walmart Money
by Dave Undis and Daniel Sims and Michael Mccarrel
VERSE
I work ten hours a day, six days a week,
Fifty weeks a year trying to make ends meet.
Every time I’m close to getting out of debt
There's something at Walmart we gotta get.
My bank account’s a joke, but it ain’t funny.
Every penny I earn is Walmart money.
CHORUS
I work, work, work, myself into the ground
Trying to get my credit card balance down.
I pay, pay, pay, but it’s never enough.
The cost of living keeps going up.
The more I need, the more I spend.
The more I owe, the more they lend.
I owe Walmart money. It never ends.
VERSE
Every time I think that I’m getting ahead
Life finds a way to slap me upside the head.
The mower broke. I gotta cut the yard.
So I put it on my Walmart credit card.
My bank account’s a joke, but it ain’t funny.
Every penny I earn is Walmart money.
CHORUS
I work, work, work, myself into the ground
Trying to get my credit card balance down.
I pay, pay, pay, but it’s never enough.
The cost of living keeps going up.
The more I need, the more I spend.
The more I owe, the more they lend.
I owe Walmart money. It never ends.
VERSE
I might pay off my bill if I stay alive
And keep working ‘till the age of ninety-five.
Or maybe just ninety if I get wise
And find more ways to economize.
My bank account’s a joke, but it ain’t funny.
Every penny I earn is Walmart money.
CHORUS
I work, work, work, myself into the ground
Trying to get my credit card balance down.
I pay, pay, pay, but it’s never enough.
The cost of living keeps going up.
The more I need, the more I spend.
The more I owe, the more they lend.
I owe Walmart money. It never ends.
