I make $4.25  barely enough to stay alive  and it sucks making minimum wage  the same as people half my age  my brain is turning into crud  and my name might as well be mud  what self-respect i had was lost  when I call a primate boss  $4.25  over 40 zillion served  and still you say what i deserve  are the few dollars that i make  with all the profit you take  and I'm just another soldier  in the army without a face  and who cares how I feel  cause i can easily be replaced  $4.25  The next time you eat at a burger joint  just stop and think  about the money they're makin  for the shit they're takin  and just how much it stinks  Someone with an attitude comes along  and says "these pickles don't belong"  "no sauce" "no onions" "easy on the mayo"  drivin me buggy have me singin dayo  dayayo  woman want cheeseburger, but she don't want no cheese  $4.25  I have a dream and here's how it goes  one day we'll all bond together  and the young and the old and the mentally slow  won't work another day ever  and then Ronald and Jack, the King and Wendy too  will be the one's saying "May I help you?"  Hope to see that day  when I'm alive  but for now I'm makin  $4.25
