In today's world there are all kinds of ways to lose 500 dollars.

lyrics

Everybody's talking about the things that happen when you turn your back
And everybody's talking about the things that will give you a heart attack
And everybody's talking about last night's game with the third quarter home run (wasn't it a shame)
The goalie had the touchdown, the shortstop was sacked, they were running through the streets and they never came back
And they burned down my car so I had to walk home, I was scared I was nervous I was all alone

And I lost 500 dollars to a woman in an alley way
Yes I lost 500 dollars, it's not something that I'm proud to say
But I lost 500 dollars and maybe you will too someday

Everybody's talking about the man with the plan and the tricked-out van
And everybody's talking about a pie in the sky and getting high
And everybody's talking about this new machine that will take you back in time, that will get you nice and clean
That will win back your girlfriend get back your job take your whole life back to before you got robbed
Just thirty easy payments and a slice of your soul, nothing to lose step up be bold

And I lost 500 dollars to a fellow in a stovepipe hat
Yes I lost 500 dollars what the hell is up with that
Oh I lost 500 dollars to that dirty dirty rat

And I lost 500 dollars to somebody on the internet
Yes I lost 500 dollars and I hurled a couple epithets
I lost 500 dollars but that hasn't stopped me yet

I said I lost 500 dollars
