A Dollar Ain't A Dollar Any More - Woody Guthrie
I was feeling kinda hungry
So I thought I'd buy some bread

I went into the corner grocery store

I took out the usual money
But the grocer shook his head
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

Oh a dollar bill don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
A dollar hill don't buy what it used to
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

Now I live in a rooming house
My room is awful small

As a matter of fact it's only two by four

But the landlord raised my rent
And now I'm living in the wall

'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

Oh a dollar bill don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
A dollar hill don't buy what it used to
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

Here's a lesson in arithmetics:
Now one and one make two

And it is true that two and two make four

But when the prices get higher
Why arithmetic's a liar
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

Oh a dollar bill don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
A dollar hill don't buy what it used to
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

From the tree that grows
In Brooklyn to the Gulf of Mexico

From Florida out to the western shore

We'll take Congress by the collar
"Roll those prices back " we'll holler
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

Oh a dollar bill don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
Oh a dollar hill don't buy what it used to
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

So it you wanna learn a lesson;
If you really wanna see

If you wanna solve your problems by the score

Fight your economic battles with the good old C I 0
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore

Oh a dollar bill don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
Don't buy what it used to
Oh a dollar hill don't buy what it used to
'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore
