Buyin' Time

Unless you believe in magic

There ain't much left you can be

A skeptic or a fool

Have you been watching your TV

Incredible is all I think of

Did I really see

Wordless faces double talkin'

A runnin' it down to me

About buyin' time

Brother can you spare a dime

And ain't it a crime

How we got to buy time, yeah

People goin' hungry

Ain't no jobs, they're in the street

Nobody's got no answer

They're just staring at their feet

Ain't no way about it

Things are lookin' pretty bleak

And everybody's scufflin' hard

Tryin' to make ends meet

We're just buyin' time

Brother can you spare a dime

Ain't it a crime

How we got to buy time, yeah

It happened once before, you know in 1932

But now there's so many more of us

There's something we gotta do

Something radical, something different

Got to hit on something new

America, the dream is lost

And it's killin' me and you

We're buyin' time

Brother can you spare a dime

Ain't it a crime

How we got to buy time

We're just buyin' time
