lyrics

Ignoring warnings from the flashing lights on my dashboard
they just remind me of the problems that I can't afford
and I don't see the need to be strapped into my seat
cuz I'm too worried about how long we can coast on E

Goddamn I'm Broke
so fucking broke
goddamn I'm broke
but I can still get my fix

Ignoring warnings from the surgeon general
I light another smoke
who needs food when you've got nicotine
let's just push on down the road
I would love to say we can turn up the radio
but the speakers are blown out so we'll just have to sing the songs we know

Goddamn I'm poor
So fucking poor
Goddamn I'm poor
but I'm feeling good

Ignoring warnings from my family and all of my friends
I never got no money but I have plenty of time to spend
doing only what I love and I'll say "fuck the rest"
my only boss is this heart in my chest
I'll do what I know, I'll learn what I can
because what you call the real world I just don't understand
these behaviors are contrived, they make us waste our time
feeding the swine who just push us back in line
that is not for me, no I have got a spine
brother could you spare a dime?

I'm such a bum
such a fucking bum
I'm such a bum
but I'm having fun
