Memory Full

The truth hurts the pockets of sellers
Lack of cash reduces amount of buyers
The merchandise loses value till Friday
Everybody comes looking after checks are cashed
Relief from reality for 1 night
The pictures the memory takes
Holds us over till next week

For that you sacrifice this
Neither was going to last
How important is eating everyday anyway
Ramen noodles still 19 cents
Life decisions by life's lower class
It's day by day till we fill a week that leads to a month
Look back after 12 realizing we been stuck for another year

What a toll time has took
Grey hair and wrinkles stole our looks
Once 6' now 5'10
Slower to react
Those great weekly memories
Now completely forgotten
Along with a lot more I can't seem to remember
Time winding down
Eventually coming to a stand still
If we knew then what we know now
Wouldn't have changed
Just been better prepared
