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
 Ain't it a crime
 How we got to buy time
 People goin' hungry
 Ain't no jobs, they's in the street
 Nobody's got no answer
 They're just staring at their feet
 Ain't no doubt about it
 Things are lookin' pretty bleak
 An' everybody's scufflin' hard
 Tryin' to make ends meet
 About buyin' time
 Brother can you spare a dime
 Ain't it a crime
 How we got to buy time
 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
 About buyin' time
 Brother can you spare a dime
 Ain't it a crime
 How we got to buy time
