Spring without flowers is just as remorseful

We came here for jobs. Money’s the thing,
F# C# B F#
but no one told us there was just the Burger King.

Minimum wage, maximum slave,
F# C# B F#
the beer’s not cheap and I already gave.

I don’t know if Tucson is the gateway to heaven,

My heart says GO but the rent’s so cheap!
