SONG: Pity for a Dime
ARTIST: Creed
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
Signs of losing my faith
Losing my faith
So I sat down for awhile
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, Just one dime
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
Signs of losing my faith
Losing my faith
So with hope in descent
I tried to repent
In a state of lament
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a quarter
Yeah, twenty-five cents
Sell my pity for a quarter
Yeah, twenty-five cents

| * 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! |
