SONG: Status Seeker
ARTIST: Dream Theater
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
Nothing's sacred...
You draw the bottom line
with a dollar sign
Change of opinion...
At the drop of a dime
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
Nothing's sacred...
You draw and quarter
a would-be thwarter
Change of opinion...
At the flip of a quarter
|
| * Payphones used to take dimes, but now they take quarters. Isn't
it time to update song lyrics to reflect the realities of
inflation? Alas, it's vastly easier to rhyme the word "dime" than
the word "quarter," but here at Inflationary Lyrics Headquarters we
have risen to the challenge. Please join the fun and share your
own inflationary lyrics, with both the "before" and "after" versions! |
