lyrics

my life, you can’t sublimate
into something only you might appreciate
but if you’d only ask I break
you’re even stingy with your hate

you can lash out and it’ll hurt
make sure you get your money’s worth
am I crippled or just a fool
with the salt of the earth rubbed in my wounds?

did I ruin your plans to sit still?
did I swipe the pennies from your till?
no I didn’t, but maybe I will
I’m nothing if not a cheap thrill

you like to flaunt your false humility
your poverty is something no one else can ever see
you’ll shiver in that spot convinced your misery’s my fault
I scraped together the lot, you bet I’d forgot

you can lash out and it’ll hurt
make sure you get your money’s worth
am I crippled or just a fool?
with the salt of the earth rubbed in my wounds

did I ruin your plans to sit still?
did I swipe the pennies from your till?
no I didn’t, but maybe I will
I’m nothing if not a cheap thrill
