Lord we pray, give us this day
our daily bread
every week it costs the meek
another arm and leg
Lord we pray, the American way,
cut us a break
Who can believe in the lottery
or Lady Luck
give us some good ol` rent control
when times are tough
`cause money is funny,
when you think there`s plenty
there`s never enough
Holy mama now, have a little mercy
have a little mercy on me
holy mackerel, I`m a little fish
drowning in a great big sea
Lord we ask, show us a path
where ends will meet
how to address this modern stress
and how to compete
show us affection
and give us directions
to easy street
