歌曲歌詞
Well it ain't no hype
Times is tough
I'm cryin' and wipin' my nose on my cuff
And I stand out on the sidewalk
With my hand out in the cold
Buddy can you spare a billion dollars
Well I'm feelin' blue
'Tain't feelin' pink
'Cause I printed too much green stuff with red ink
And I walk up Main Street Anytown
In hock up to my neck
Buddy can you spare a billion dollars
Once the sun was high
And I was everybody's Uncle Sam
All I had to do was point a finger at 'em and say
"I want you "
Now the sky is cloudy
And they swear they don't know who I am
I'm mildly recessed
And tremendously overdressed
A billion dollars
Why that's a thousand million dollars
That's enough to fill the Houston Astrodome
With Good & Plenty
That's enough to support
Arianna Huffington for six or seven years
That's enough to buy every banjo ever made
But for me that's just one day's interest payment
Now when I was secure
I was a mensch
I rebuilt Europe in spite of the French
Now I'm flat out on the sidewalk
With my hat out in the snow
Buddy hey buddy
Anybody can you spare a billion dollars
