Pocket Money
From the Motion Picture "Pocket Money"?
by Carole King

No friends, no dreams, no pocket money

There's a wall around my body,
A fence around my kind
Nothing comes to me easily,
not leastwise peace of mind
Still, I keep movin',
tryin' to break on through
I don't know nothin' else to do

Peelin' paint above my head
is just another sign
Black clouds in the distance,
gettin' closer all the time
I gotta keep movin',
tryin' to break on through
I don't know nothin' else to do

Sometimes when I think that things
are bad as they can be,
I see a fella standing
lower down on the ladder than me

Now, I'm alive and kickin'
dust behind my heel
Long as I got my soul
I'm on the good end of the deal
and I'm gonna keep movin',
tryin' to break on through
I don't know nothin' else to do
I gotta keep movin'
No friends, no dreams, no pocket money
So, I'm gonna keep movin'
No pocket money
