lyrics

Sitting around, playing another chord
Writing a song 'cause that's all that I can afford now
I'm so fucking poor now.

Don't got no heat, the gas man took that from me
I cannot eat 'til I get some more money somehow
What will I do now?

And the rent is due next week.
And I can't afford to eat.
And I'm looking pretty thin.
And my ship ain't coming in.

I'm sick of rice but that's all we got tonight
A bowl of white rice, alright, and maybe some water.
Oh, they turned off our water.

Oh, I'm so fucking poor.

I don't go out, I don't try to see my friends
I can't afford to spend time with any of them
I got no money to spend.

So, here I sit, writing another song
Too bad I can't sell it to anyone
Oh, I'm gonna cry

And the rent is due next week.
And I can't afford to eat.
And I'm looking pretty thin.
And my ship ain't coming in.

I'm guess right now, I gotta play in the dark
The power is off and I don't know when I'll get it on.
I can't afford to turn it on.

Oh, I'm so fucking poor.

Hey, diddle dee, it seems perfect to me that all the world 'roud
Should get my music for free.
Oh, I don't need a single thing.
No, I don't need a single thing.
