Credit complications in the check out line |
|
It's an awkward situation almost every time |
|
They keep your card behind and they keep your groceries too, yeah they do. |
|
You try telling everybody it's a terrible mistake |
|
But you can tell they don't believe that's true |
|
It's written all over you when you're broke. |
|
I hung my head down as I walked out the door |
|
I'm never ever going back to that store |
|
They treated me like a bum in front of everyone behind me in line. |
|
It was all my friends and neighbors lookin' at me |
|
Like I'd committed some kind of crime |
|
I guess you ain't worth a dime when you're broke. |
|
Why if I had money like I did in my day ? |
|
Just out of spite I think I'd give it away |
|
I thought it didn't even matter anyway |
|
And the more I thought the madder I got. |
|
By the time I got home I was seeing red |
|
I pulled the gun up out from under my bed |
|
I put a sock on my head and into the night I flew, away I flew. |
|
The next thing I know I've got blood on my hands |
|
But I've got money in my pockets too |
|
You never know what you'll do until you do what you do when you're broke. |
|
Now if I had money like I did in my day |
|
I'd buy a car and drive us far away |
|
Of course you know I've got a debt to pay to society |
|
Honey, wait for me. |
|
With good behavior I'll be out in seven years |
|
Don't worry over me or shed any tears |
|
I've learned a lot in here and I know what a chance I blew. |
|
The next time I won't make the same mistake |
|
I'll shoot the camera out too |
|
I'm learning all kinds of things you can do when you're broke, I'm broke. |
