Meaningful change(Live at Siphon coffee house)

I gave her ten dollars It didn't make no sense Tell me, how in the world's a poor boy supposed to pay the rent? All I got was cheese and bread Now my money's all spent Tell me, how in the world's a poor boy supposed to pay the rent? The landlord says eight hundred is due on the first of each month But I haven't had any work since the year first begun I haven't had no work since the first of the year Now the year is almost done They say there's a big store somewhere near Where I can make some change Work a ten hour shift You work a ten hour shift They only pay you for six Tell me, how in the world's a poor boy supposed to pay the rent?
