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
