I've been up and down around and around and back againI've been so many places I can't remember where or whenAnd my only boss was a clock on the wall and my only friendNever really was a friend at allI've traded love for pennies I've sold my soul for lessLost my deals in that long tunnel of timeI've turned inside out around about and back and thenFound myself right back where I started againOnce I had myself a million now I only got a dimeBut the difference don't seem quite so bad todayNow with a nickel or a million I was searchin' all the timeFor something that I'd never lost or left behindI've traded love for pennies I sold my soul for less...Now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the topAnd I've learned a lot of things along the wayI'll be careful while I'm climbin' cause it hurts a lot to dropAnd when you're down nobody gives a damn anywayI've traded love for pennies I sold my soul for less...
