[K. Vanderhoof / M. Howe]

|
I live my life the best I can, sometimes I need a change
|
Losing all my marbles wasn't part of the game
|
Existing day by day tormented by the telephone
|
It's hard enough to live my life, why don't you live your own?
|
|
I pay out money with a check, I never use the cash
|
Collectors closing in on me, is this some kind of test?
|
Borrow is my middle name, the banks give graciously
|
With interest rates that terrify, they knock you senselessly
|
|
Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without
|
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
|
This is the first step to my date with poverty
|
|
You sit there in your cushy job and call me on the phone
|
You want my money and everything I own
|
I'll pay you soon as I get paid, the check is in the mail
|
Don't call my home anymore, I've long since jumped bail
|
|
Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without
|
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
|
This is the first step to my date with poverty
|
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
|
This is the first step to my date with poverty
|
|
Living on a shoestring daily, maybe I'll make some money maybe
|
I hope to make a living someday, then I'll pay you what I owe you
|
Then you'll get off my back!
|
|
Someday I'll get ahead of things and life will be so grand
|
I'll buy a house down my the beach, stick my feet in the sand
|
For now I'll do what I can do to keep this dream alive
|
Until I win the lottery I must survive
|
|
Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without
|
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
|
This is the first step to my date with poverty
|
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
|
This is the first step to my date with poverty
|
|
I'm so fuckin' broke
|
I can't even afford to pay attention
|
Don't you know who I am?
|
You got any food?
|
I need a drink
|
Aw, fuck you
