Lyrics
What difference does it make
Questioning the significance or importance of an action
If I refuse to pay with dimes
Refusing to use small amounts of money (dimes) as payment
They do it all the time
Others (possibly the wealthy) frequently use small coins for transactions
They never have to hear it from you
Those using dimes never face criticism or complaints
I’m one to second guess
Having a tendency to doubt or question decisions
Every second of my days
Constantly analyzing and reconsidering every moment of daily life
I can’t let what’s in my pocket go to waste
Reluctance to waste money, even small amounts, that one possesses
It’s chump change
Money being referred to as insignificant or of little value
And it’s named
Assigning a name ('chump change') to the insignificant amount
After me
Humorous suggestion that 'chump change' is named after the speaker
I’m not conceited
Clarifying that the speaker is not excessively self-centered
It’s payed
Misspelling of "paid," indicating something has been compensated for
For damn near
Indicates that 'chump change' has covered a significant portion of needs
All the things
'Chump change' has contributed to fulfilling the listener's needs
That you needed
Feeling embarrassed or guilty for relying on 'chump change'
And I’m shamed
Experiencing shame on a daily basis
Everyday
Continual regret or self-reproach for possessing 'chump change'
For this lame
Feeling inadequate due to fear of being judged
Fear of judgement
Expectation of repeating the same mistakes
And I’ll make
Continuing to make the same errors or decisions
The same mistakes
Repeating mistakes until needing to change or adjust
Till I need
Continuing a pattern of mistakes until necessitating alterations
To make adjustments
Waiting until a point of needing adjustments to rectify mistakes
