[00:09.000]When I was a kid, candy was a nickel
[00:15.000]Had some roller skates and a red bicycle
[00:21.000]It was the land of the brave, home of the free
[00:24.000]Some of our jobs jumped over the sea
[00:27.000]It was a high price to pay
[00:30.000]You're gettin' more for your money today
[00:35.000]Way back then Daddy had his own business
[00:40.000]He was a self-made man, he was independent
[00:47.000]Then they opened this store, took up a city block
[00:50.000]Whatever you need you know they got it
[00:53.000]It was a high price to pay
[00:56.000]You're gettin' more for your money today

[02:00.998]To get more for your money today
[02:05.998]Last night I had a terrible dream
[02:12.000]I was eatin' these cookies and chocolate ice cream
[02:18.000]And the government didn't want to pay the debt
[02:21.000]And the whole damn country got repossessed
[02:24.000]It was a high price to pay
[02:27.000]To get more for your money today
[02:30.000]It was a high price to pay
[02:33.000]You're gettin' more
[02:35.000]For your money today
