I’m broke, i ain’t joking
I’m bummed cuz i’m slumming
I’m down and i’m drowning
And there ain’t nobody that’ll lend me a hand
Well i’m a working man but i ain’t been working
They say keep looking but i been searching
Starting to think all the jobs are gone
I been off so long i can’t remember on
My daddy always told me, son
If you work hard the work will come
Those days must have passed
Last month welfare saved my #ss
Cuz i’m broke, i ain’t joking
I’m bummed cuz i’m slumming
I’m down and i’m drowning
And there ain’t nobody that’ll lend me a hand
Well the years go by and i just get fatter
They cut my lights off, i just get madder
Gave my best years to a factory
I had three kids and stability
Now i sold everything i love and i still can’t feed em
The skills i got, the world don’t need em
Tell me what am i supposed to do
I guess i’m going back to working fast food
Cuz i’m broke, i ain’t joking
I’m bummed cuz i’m slumming
I’m down and i’m drowning
And there ain’t nobody that’ll lend me a hand
I’m a full grown man, hi, how can i help you
The cheese costs extra on the number three special
The customer said that i was rude
I should smile more and lose the attitude
I only had one finger to give
I ain’t asking for much i’m just trying to live
Besides that job was just minimum wage
80 hours a week the bills still weren’t paid
And i’m broke, i ain’t joking
I’m bummed cuz i’m slumming
I’m down and i’m drowning
And there ain’t nobody that’ll lend me a hand
Well one of the worst parts of all
Is people all talking like it’s my fault
Like i made money off the nafta deal
I’m a good hearted man, but if i gotta steal…
Crime it don’t come easily
To those of us that’s just trying to eat
And the same one sent my job overseas
Will make money when they incarcerate me
Cuz i’m broke, i ain’t joking
I’m bummed cuz i’m slumming
I’m down and i’m drowning
And there ain’t nobody that’ll lend me a hand
