An artificial season
  Covered by summer rain
  Losing all my reason
  Cause there's nothing left to blame
  Shadows paint the sidewalk
  A living picture in a frame
  See the sea of people
  All their faces look the same
    So I sat down for awhile
  Forcing a smile
  In a state of self-denial
  Is it worthwhile
  Sell my pity for a dime
  Yeah, Just one dime
  Sell my pity for a dime
  Yeah, Just one dime
    Plain talk can be the easy way
  Signs of losing my faith
  Losing my faith
  Plain talk can be the easy way
  Signs of losing my faith
  Losing my faith
    So I sat down for awhile
  Yeah, Forcing a smile
  In a state of self-denial
  Yeah, Is it worthwhile
  Sell my pity for a dime
  Yeah, Just one dime
  Sell my pity for a dime
  Yeah, Just one dime
  So I sat down for awhile
  Yeah, Forcing a smile
  In a state of self-denial
  Yeah, Is it worthwhile
  Sell my pity for a dime
  Yeah, Just one dime
  Sell my pity for a dime
  Yeah, Just one dime
