I’m a Cadillac tramp at the end of his road
A swap meet rat who’s sittin’ on gold yeah baby
I’m a guitar gangster without a tune
I’m the baseball bat that’s waiting to swing
Your loan shark friend with the broker knees yeah baby
I’m a penthouse pauper with nothing to do
Chorus:
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I’m chasing nickels and dimes
The rest of the world passes me by
Nah, nah, nah… I’m just wasting my time
I’m just sitting here and wondering why
I’m the high rollin’ creep that’s in to deep
With the slicked back hair and the silver teeth yeah baby
I’m a vagabond king with a stolen crown
I’m a jailhouse poet, a genius, a fool
I’m the pimp who’s lost his cool yeah baby
I’ve got first class taste in a second class town
Chorus:
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I’m chasing nickels and dimes
While the rest of the world passes me by
Nah, nah, nah… I’m just wasting my time
I’m just sitting here and wondering why yea
I’m a loaded gun pointed at the mirror
A drugstore cowboy whose end is near yeah baby
I’m a big time schemer with broken down dreams
I’m a derelict rebel without a cause
I ain’t the cat with the sharpest claws no baby
Cause sometimes life just ain’t what it seems
Chorus:
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I’m chasing nickels and dimes
While the rest of the world passes me by
Nah, nah, nah… I’m just wasting my time
I’m just sitting here and wondering why
I’m just sitting here and wondering why
And just like you I’m wondering why
The Social Distortion are a punk rock band formed in Orange County, California, in 1978. Considered among the most influential bands of the 1980s punk revival scene, they have managed to blend the energy of punk with elements of country and rockabilly, creating a unique and recognizable sound. The band is led by the charismatic Mike Ness, singer and guitarist, who has faced several personal difficulties during the band's career, including addictions and health problems. Despite the hardships, the Social Distortion have continued to record and perform, releasing albums such as *Mommy's Little Monster* (1983), *Prison Bound* (1988) and *White Light, White Heat, White Trash* (1990). Among their most famous songs are «Ball and Chain», «Story of My Life» and «Don't Drag Me Down». The current lineup includes Mike Ness, Jonny Wickersham (guitar), Brent Harding (bass) and David Hidalgo Jr. (drums).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
