I know some hard ways to earn a hundred dollars
And I know some easy ways to lose a hundred dollars
If I could only find a way to use a hundred dollars
To soothe my troubled soul
The hard ways all hurt your back and tend
To cost more time than you're willing to spend
Make you feel like you've been robbed in the end
You think I wish I never had to do that again
I know some hard ways to earn a hundred dollars
And I know some easy ways to lose a hundred dollars
If I could only find a way to use a hundred dollars
To soothe my troubled soul
I go out and check the prices of exciting new devices
All designed to beat the boredom
Love to buy but I can't afford 'em
I know some hard ways to earn a hundred dollars
And I know some easy ways to lose a hundred dollars
If I could only find a way to use a hundred dollars
To soothe my troubled soul
