Lyrics Life on the Nickel - Foster the People

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling

But I can't seem to catch a dime

Take a little hit and I lose the time

I took the man and his horse

And ran before he looked up

I said the light's gonna change

But I'm calm and feeling warm

Now I'm sticking out my hands

And feeling weightless again

You got to push, got to shove

Got to eat before they eat me

Got the crown and the cup

Got to write to my family

And say, "I'm calm and feeling warm"

Not quite there, but I'm close

And it's a world of a difference

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling

But I can't seem to catch a dime

Take a little hit and I lose the time

I've got the worst all behind me

Yeah, they'll never be able to find me

I'm the king of the city

I'm a roach and they're all primates

This is meal time, real life

I'm not gonna fight

No, I'm gonna start a war

I've been right, I've been wrong

My smokes have come and gone

I've been crazy

Been fed enough to not wind up dead

And I'm lonely

My eyes have been closed to the world

'Cause the world's got nothing for me

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling

But I can't seem to catch a dime

Take a little hit and I lose the time

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling

But I can't seem to catch a dime

Take a little hit and I lose the time

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
