| "Being Poor" | |
| There's one thing that I am sure I'm sick to death of being poor I want my bills to be a bore And not a frightening weighted chore Sick of begging for my pay Weeks past when it's due. Today I'm begging for my money. They gonna make my hair turn grey I want dollars, pounds and yen Kroner, pesos, drachma, then Pile on Euros, rubles, bucks Cuz being poor just plain old sucks Can't spend a dime on any things Watching pennies really stings Cannot have the smallest flings Diamonds? No, they're onion rings Sick of peanut butter and jam Hot dogs and God help me, Spam Sick of Mac and cheese, God damn I'm sick of being poor, I am! I want dollars, pounds and yen Kroner, pesos, drachma, then Pile on Euros, rubles, bucks Cuz being poor just plain old sucks There's one thing that I am sure I'm sick to death of being poor I want to pay my rent before My landlord heaves me out the door. I don't ask for much, oh, no Just wanna pay off what I owe Give me a big pile of dough Cuz poverty's my status quo I want dollars, pounds and yen Kroner, pesos, drachma, then Pile on Euros, rubles, bucks Cuz being poor just plain old sucks Cuz being poor just plain old sucks | |
