SONG: Devil's Dime
ARTIST: Zakk Wylde
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
Living on the Devil's dime
Devil's dime
Everything's paid and we're feeling fine
On the Devil's dime
Devil's dime
The wheels are rolling and we're running blind
On the Devil's dime
Devil's dime
Everything's paid and we're feeling fine
On the Devil's dime
Devil's dime
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
Paid for by the Devil's quarter
Devil's quarter
Heads or tails of Yahweh's thwarter
On the Devil's quarter
Devil's quarter
Paying the price and ending up shorter
On the Devil's quarter
Devil's quarter
Heads or tails of Yahweh's thwarter
On the Devil's quarter
Devil's 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! |
