Broke

Broke

Every once in awhile

I just get tired of being broke

I make plenty of money

Yet I'm always broke

It just makes me so sad

Can't afford much

Living eats away all my money

Food, gas, mortgage payment

And forget about upkeep of a house

Vacation's are a thing of the past

People have a hard time understanding

How I'm so broke all the time

I tell ya this

I sometimes don't understand it myself

But then I look around

I live in America, for one thing

No...check that

I live in New York, even worse!

Empty my wallet at the gas pump, 

The grocery store, and everywhere in between

But yes, only in America

Can you still be paying off debt

You incurred years ago

It never seems to go away

Banks get rich and I'm become broker

Yet I see money all around me

Housewives in gas guzzlers

Talking on their cells, as kids watch vids in the back

Kids driving Beemers, wearing Gucci, D&G, and Hugo

Flying past me on the road, with a smirk, or a finger

So what's wrong with this picture?

In America we say work hard and you'll reap the rewards

Live the American Dream

I work hard, too hard sometimes

Yet I'm always broke

So what's the answer?

Rob a bank, stop paying my bills

Go on welfare?

Nah, I can't do that

That's not me

So I guess I'll just go on being broke

Working hard, struggling harder

Perhaps I'll be rewarded when I'm beyond, who knows?

Till then I'll keep on keeping on

Hoping for a miracle, so's I'm broke no more
