Lyrics
Chorus
I’ve got the profiteering blues,
I’ve got the profiteering blues
High prices make me sick for
All my clothes are worn through
I’ll have to dress like Adam
But what else can I do
I’ve got the profiteering blues
I can’t afford to buy a pair of shoes
Every time I get a raise I laugh with glee
Then along come my landlord
And takes if from me
It seems the more I make
The more they take
I’ve got the profiteering blues
