Bill Grace - Nickel and Dime

The bank offers an attractive interest rate
But charges for a counter check
Nickel and dime.
The airline offers an attractive fare
But charges when you check your bag
Nickel and dime.
We live in a time of nickel and dime
Where the only safety you could even begin to find
Is a struggle with an inner monster deep within
That helps avoid a place called sin.
