Date with Poverty (Live)

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
