Lord we pray, give us this day

our daily bread

every week it costs the meek

another arm and leg

Lord we pray, the American way,

cut us a break



Who can believe in the lottery

or Lady Luck

give us some good ol' rent control

when times are tough

'cause money is funny,

when you think there's plenty

there's never enough



Holy mama now, have a little mercy

have a little mercy on me

holy mackerel, I'm a little fish

drowning in a great big sea



Lord we ask, show us a path

where ends will meet

how to address this modern stress

and how to compete

show us affection

and give us directions

to easy street
