Metal Church - Date With Poverty Lyrics
I live my life the best I can, sometimes I need a changeLosing all my marbles wasn't part of the gameExisting day by day tormented by the telephoneIt'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 cashCollectors closing in on me, is this some kind of test?Borrow is my middle name, the banks give graciouslyWith interest rates that terrify, they knock you senselesslyBounce a check, lie a bit, do withoutI'm in hiding, just leave me beThis is the first step to my date with povertyYou sit there in your cushy job and call me on the phoneYou want my money and everything I ownI'll pay you soon as I get paid, the check is in the mailDon't call my home anymore, I've long since jumped bailBounce a check, lie a bit, do withoutI'm in hiding, just leave me beThis is the first step to my date with povertyI'm in hiding, just leave me beThis is the first step to my date with povertyLiving on a shoestring daily, maybe I'll make some money maybeI hope to make a living someday, then I'll pay you what I owe youThen you'll get off my back!Someday I'll get ahead of things and life will be so grandI'll buy a house down my the beach, stick my feet in the sandFor now I'll do what I can do to keep this dream aliveUntil I win the lottery I must surviveBounce a check, lie a bit, do withoutI'm in hiding, just leave me beThis is the first step to my date with povertyI'm in hiding, just leave me beThis is the first step to my date with povertyI'm so *****in' brokeI can't even afford to pay attentionDon't you know who I am?You got any food?I need a drinkAw, ***** you
