Jeffrey Lewis - Sal's Pizza Has Sold Out to the Yuppie Scum lyrics

Not long ago it was a buck twenty-five
A buck twenty-five, a buck twenty-five
Not long ago it was a buck twenty-five
If you had a few quarters
You could still stay alive

Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice

Sal said he was the best
On the Lower East Side
And I used to eat there all the time
But I won't eat my pride
So long Sal, all my love is gone
You might be low and east
But now I know whose side you're on

Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice

You might say "Hey, it's just pizza
Don't get all bent
Why don't you sing about the
Idiots who pay these rents?
Or how 'bout that George fucking Bush
Might be the next president?"
But don't you see, to me all that shit is
What the pizza represents?

Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice

Oh so long goodbye
Now I'm gonna have myself a cry
Another piece of my life went to hell today
And you know the reason why
