Bad times are comin and I reap what I don't sow

And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load

Bridge:

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is falling down
And all I want - is for someone - to help me

I had a job but the boss man let me go
He said
I'm sorry but I won't be needing your help no more
I said

But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door

Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me

What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe its inside the bottle
Maybe its inside the bottle
I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine
hey hey
And for my good old buddy i spent my last dime
hey hey
My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time
and my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine
Hey Hey
Your mama may have, bless the child that's got his own
Hey Hey

Hey Hey

and i swear on grandpas grave I'll be paid when i come home
Hey Hey

Bridge:

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need hey hey
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

I've seen this presented many ways and sorry but this isn't the best of them. One of my favorites:

Three men walk into a hotel. The manager standing at the desk says there is only 1 room available. After some discussion, they elect to share the room. Rooms at this hotel cost $25 a night. Since the manager isn't very good at math, he says that they cost $30, so that'll be $10 a piece to each of the men. They each pay $10 and the bellhop takes them and their luggage to the room. When the bellhop returns to the lobby, the manager is feeling guilty about overcharging the men. He tells the bellhop, "I overcharged those three guests by $5, could you go split it among them?". While the bellhop is walking back to the room, he realizes that he can't divide $5 among three people, so he says to himself, I'll just pocket $2 and give $1 back to each guest.

So when you look at it, each man paid $9 for their room, because they were refunded $1. The bellhop kept $2. Thats $9+$9+$9 that the men paid for $27, and $2 in the bellhops pocket for $29.... Where's the missing dollar?

Disclaimer: I was not the author of the above and it's a lot more fun to say it rather than type it, stressing certain words and clever speech makes all the difference. I also may have gotten some parts wrong.

Quite easy if I may say so.

They paid 30$ right?

Room is 25$
Bell guy got 2$
And they all got 1$ each.

There's no missing dollar X(

Because what you're trying to do is. 30-3+2

While it's 30-2-3.
OR 25+3+2

You can hide things with numbers. I used to confuse my kids, by telling them they had 11 fingers.

<holds up left hand> 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. Add 5 <holds up right hand>.... equals 11.

Bear in mind they were 7 at the time.
