Shadows paint the sidewalk
A livin' picture in a frame
See the sea of people
All their faces look the same
So I sat down for awhile
Forcin' a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile?
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah
Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah
Just one dime
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losin' my faith
Losin' my faith
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losin' my faith
Losin' my faith
So I sat down for awhile
Yeah
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Yeah
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah
Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah
Just one dime
Sellin'
Sellin'
My pity for a dime
And another man take my soul
So I sat down for awhile
Yeah
Forcin' a smile
In a state of self-denial
Yeah
Is it worthwhile?
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah
Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah
Just one dime
Sellin'
Sellin'
My pity for a dime
