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
