Lyrics
Well, I wanna try and hold my head up high In this busted-up Pinto truck conversion Between the broken concrete and the cloudy sky Well, you have to make an effort with me Can you make it look like you're chauffeuring me? There's enough gas to get us home now if we glide When we took this job, I thought that you knew the deal I told the boss we had a Mercedes-Benz But all we got in our yard is a steering wheel No, I can't borrow this tuxedo much longer You might have to cut and sell your long hair I don't mind you wearing a wig, but I won't steal (Yeah) Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap We need to make it look like we're high class So we'll haul ourself on, we can't be beat Well, I can't help but wonder, this time next year Will we be drinking Dom Perignon or reheated beer? Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap We have to keep up appearances as long as we can There's too much to lose, our social status And our ice machine, and our ceiling fan Well, if they find out we ain't real songwriters We go Dutch on cigarette lighters We're gonna lose the paradise that's in our hands (Yeah) Honey, we can't afford to look this cheap We got an image to live up to In the best motel on Imposter Street While the Joneses are waltzing off to dinner We're gluing old lottery tickets together Trying to make us a winner Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap Jack White We can do a song from our first record here This is a song that, uh That my husband I wrote together This is called "The World's Greatest Loser"
