Lyrics   status: confirmed

A hundred dollars used to be more than enough
And now a hundred times a day
And still it's not enough
People always tell me you get what you deserve
All I know is all and all it's all I've heard

I heard you said "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say "I can't escape myself"?
And then you did, and now there's no one else
To blame

You know that I know yeah that times are rough
I'd like to help you out but things are rather tough
People always tell me that
You got to lend a helping hand
Nothing in return is all I expect from you
My friend

I heard you said "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say "I can't escape myself"?
And then you did, and now there's no one else

I heard you said "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say "I can't escape myself"?
And then you did, and now there's no one else
