This song was written in protest to the way that a lot of promoters treat the original bands that play at their venues. The lyrics below depict actual events of a show that Toothless George played with The Bedrockers.

Five Bucks Ain't Enough
Two-hundred bucks just to rent your hall for an all age matinee
You've got to cover the cost of the beer sales lost
But you weren't gonna be open anyway
Seventy of it goes to the sound guy which I can clearly see
And let's be generous and say that fifty gets paid
To the door guy that let all his friends in for free

There's no sign of the promoter when the show's done with and over
Five bucks ain't enough to fill the tank and get us home

A hundred kids showed up and paid the five bucks that's three-Hundred after your fee
And with no one else to pay, no jock security, what happened to all the money

Twenty bucks split between four bands
This ain't a punk rock show man it's just a big fuckin' scam

There's no sign of the promoter when the show's done with and over
Five bucks ain't enough to fill the tank and get us home

You know who you are and we know where you fuckin' live!
