Gimme, gimme…
You’re banking on whatever you got and you’re tripping over your boss pay for that fall, all for the gimme gimme. And when you’re freaking over the cost, you can’t stop thinking only of loss, so you pay for drugs and that gimme gimme.
You spend your cash and take out your trash.
Take out your trash. I’ll take that gimme gimme.
And when you’re tripping over the cross and you’re praying over your loss, pray for that God and that gimme gimme. Then when they're dripping over the plate and they dump it under your face, you pay for grace and that gimme gimme.
You spend your cash and take out your trash.
Take out your trash. I’ll take that gimme gimme.
Why try to get by on their lies when all they give you is trash?
You won’t be tripping over a boss.
You won’t be dreaming only of loss.
You won’t be working only for cost.
You won’t pray "gimme gimme."
Keeping up with the Joneses.
Keeping up when they're jonesing…
I can’t keep thinking over your loss or muster concern over your costs, ‘cause you go on thinking you are the boss.
You keep me bringing what have you got?
Well, what you’re bringing’s nothing but talk. You keep it hanging over your heart. When you got that pang in your gut all you think is, “Gimme, gimme”.
