[Verse] Ten bucks a day it won’t even last A bus ride’s gone before I’ve cast My first glance at the morning sun The coffee’s cold the day’s begun
[Prechorus] Pocket’s empty heart’s still loud Shouting dreams above the crowd
[Chorus] Ten bucks a day no way no way Ain’t enough to make it sway Ten bucks a day can’t make me stay I need a world that’ll pay to play
[Verse 2] Counting coins like they’re made of gold But the dreams I chase they don’t grow old A sandwich split a drink to share Ten bucks a day can’t take me there
[Bridge] I’m not asking for a castle in the sky Just enough to keep my hopes alive A little more to make me thrive Ten bucks a day just won’t survive
[Chorus] Ten bucks a day no way no way Ain’t enough to make it sway Ten bucks a day can’t make me stay I need a world that’ll pay to play
