lyrics
it's your day to pig out and get some smooth kicks
while we are sleeping you find energy
it's kind to leave a number when you shut the door
spell all your dignity now with a single word
when you're broke you lose all grounding
when you're broke you live on dried meat
when you're broke you might just burn and fry
twenty years too late
hella broke
you might go insane
am i cowering for your two eyes?
when you go for a walk in the small world you carry lots of guilt
and you're coming up on a good dream when you make the time
is it even worth it to lie for your self-esteem?
pouring all the gasoline into the angry stream
when you're broke you lose all grounding
when you're broke you live on dried meat
when you're broke you might just burn and fry
leaving you in pain
hella broke
you might go insane
am i cowering for your two eyes?
cutting through the fluff and fleece
no one ever wants to lead
steal your heart
when you're broke you lose all grounding
when you're broke you live on dried meat
when you're broke you might just burn and fry
hella broke
you might go insane
am i cowering for your two eyes?
