I ain't got a nickel to call mine   The government has made me pay my tax on time   They've taken all my bread and left me here for dead   I ain't even got a lousy dime      Who the hell wants money   When there ain't none to be had   It don't make the good times better   It don't make the bad times bad      Well, you find out who your friends are   When you ain't got a dime   Just trying to make the best of these hard times      I've got fifteen cars and I can't afford the gas   We've got a horse but how long can she last   My managers enraged, my banker stands there days   Funny how the money goes so fast      Who the hell wants money   When there ain't none to be had   It don't make the good times better   It don't make the bad times bad      Well, you find out who your friends are   When you ain't got a dime   Just trying to make the best of these hard times      We are broke but we've been broke before   But being broke don't scare us anymore   My daddy's broke and grandpa too   But I'm still here to sing for you   We are going to make it through for sure      Well, you find out who your friends are   When you ain't got a dime   Just trying to make the best of these hard times
