It's so mean
It's crueler than your dreams
And it's worse than it seems
Add it up
Stick it in your cup
You're sure to get enough
It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
The boards are crackin' now
You better not go down

Life's so cheap
It's cheaper than it looks
You can learn that from books
Stay in the house
So clear of what you fear
And you're old beyond your years
It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
The boards are crackin' now
You better not go down

Leaving your long shadows
Leaning into space
And your heart scrambled
Life is written all over your face

Counterfeit
The bankroll that was his
Fist of change that was yours
A life's so cheap
It was cheaper than it looked
You can learn that from books
It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
The boards are crackin' now
You better not go down

Leave you with a prayer book
And a pocket full of grace
And your heart scrambled
Life is written all over your face

Life's so cheap
Life's so cheap
It's so mean
It's crueler than your dreams
And it's worse than it seems
Life's so cheap
It's so mean
Life's so cheap
It's so mean
Life's so cheap

Whisper in my ear
Whisper in my ear
Whisper in the night
Whisper all the time
