Loose Change Lyrics - No Place Like Home - Lex Zaleta

Two hours of my day stuck in a traffic jam; 

Get home just in time to watch it on TV. 

Makes me start to wonder exactly who I am, 

And if I am even close to where I should be. 

Get up next morning to my wind-up Big Ben; 

Without any warning, power's out again. 

Seems I'm in the dark about so many things; 

Still a kid in the park standing by the swings. 

I pull up to work, the parking lot's filled; 

I don't have that perk, that reserved-spot thrill. 

I find the last space halfway across town; 

The skies open up, and I almost drown. 

I've been nickeled and dimed, 

Drawn and quartered; 

I have half a mind 

To cross that crazy border. 

Dollars to donuts, 

It would be way shorter, 

Save a world of time, 

Save shipping on my order. 

Get to my office, drenched to the bone; 

"Glad you could join us!" says my speakerphone. 

I apologize profusely to my boss, 

A mix of truth and lies to get my point across. 

I work hard all day, fall further behind; 

Must be a better way, better than this grind. 

I hike thirty blocks back to my beater; 

The temperature's dropped, wish I had a heater. 

I've been nickeled and dimed, 

Drawn and quartered; 

I have half a mind 

To cross that crazy border. 

Dollars to donuts, 

It would be way shorter, 

Save a world of time, 

Save shipping on my order. 

Two hours of my day stuck in a traffic jam; 

Get home just in time to watch it on TV. 

Makes me start to wonder exactly who I am, 

And if I am even close to where I should be.
