Low Down On My Luck Lyrics - Asking For Forever - Lex Zaleta

If a ticket round the world 

Cost a quarter, 

I couldn't get across 

My hometown border. 

Had me a woman, but I 

Couldn't afford her; 

These times are leaner and 

Meaner than me. 

These times are leaner and 

Meaner than me. 

Work-place drama, daily commute, 

Time and a half, American dream. 

Time bomb trauma, life won't compute. 

You used to laugh, now you just scream. 

Another day, another dollar, 

Minimum wage and blue collar. 

What can I say, my life's a bust. 

I used to rage; now I just rust. 

If a ticket round the world 

Cost a quarter, 

I couldn't get across 

My hometown border. 

Had me a woman, but I 

Couldn't afford her; 

These times are leaner and 

Meaner than me. 

These times are leaner and 

Meaner than me. 

Down on the farm, it's no better; 

You plant your hours, wait for the buds. 

You mean no harm, still a debtor. 

It used to shower; now it just floods. 

Another day, another dollar, 

Minimum wage and blue collar. 

What can I say, my life's a bust. 

I used to rage; now I just rust. 

If a ticket round the world 

Cost a quarter, 

I couldn't get across 

My hometown border. 

Had me a woman, but I 

Couldn't afford her; 

These times are leaner and 

Meaner than me. 

These times are leaner and 

Meaner than me.
