I live my life the best I can, sometimes I need a change Losing all my marbles wasnt part of the game Existing day by day tormented by the telephone Its hard enough to live my life, why dont 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 Im 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 Ill pay you soon as I get paid, the check is in the mail Dont call my home anymore, Ive long since jumped bail Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without Im in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty Im in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty Living on a shoestring daily, maybe Ill make some money maybe I hope to make a living someday, then Ill pay you what I owe you Then youll get off my back! Someday Ill get ahead of things and life will be so grand Ill buy a house down my the beach, stick my feet in the sand For now Ill 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 Im in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty Im in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty Im so fuckin broke I cant even afford to pay attention Dont you know who I am? You got any food? I need a drink Aw, fuck you
