Lyrics
PIN THE DOLLAR
They cut loose the past
Weren?t sure they wanted too
They didn?t get to ask
If the time was right
Reading all the signs
Like tea leaves in a whirlpool bath
Changing with the times
Trying to crawl ahead
(Chorus)
If you pin the dollar on the lady
Pin the dollar on the man
We not living in Arcadia
This is not the promised land
Pin the dollar on the lady
Pin the dollar on the man
You?re old enough to realize
We don?t really have a plan
We don?t really have a plan
What?s the latest frequency
Did they ride the newest wave
Insolence or decency
The money changes hands
Images of excess
Flashing on the parking meters
Aliens? attention span
Might be growing thin
(Chorus)
Watching at the circus
That?s the way we live our lives
Ever since the fall of
Saigon or even Rome
You can hold you hand out
And I might try and catch your heart
But I can only keep it
Until the song is through
(Chorus)
