Why they’re always on my back
Acting like they’re all ready to attack
And now they wanna steal my bag
I’m broke
But they always want something from me
Don’t know
Why they’re always on my back
Acting like they’re all ready to attack
And now they wanna steal my bag
I’m broke
But they always want something from me
Gotta pay anyway
By any mean necessary, everyday
There’s no way you won’t spit that money,
It’s a burden we gotta live with,
Gotta laugh about
Like it’s funny
You gotta have a job and be serious
Even if your task’s dumb and injurious
And it’s no wonder that you feel disempowered
If you spend so many hours
Despoiled and lowered
Sometimes you gotta make shit
Sometimes you gotta pack it
In plastic
Sometimes you gotta sell it
You had
Higher expectations that you left behind
Forgot about what’s ethical now your eyes are blind
Time is running fast and you trying to run faster
Towards the wall
Just like any other…
Everytime I try to be a little rich,
Everytime I get
A little cash
There’s a always little bitch
Or a dirty attorney
Coming in the form of a bill
In my letterbox to steal me plenty…
Often even much more than I ever had
Makes me mad!
Sometimes I get a little low and a little sad
Feeling stuck in my life cuz I lack a few bucks
There are holes in my socks
And my underwear sucks!
I often wish I could travel,
Go to a sunny place
With mango trees and soft white sand,
Instead of buildings and grey gravels
But all
Of my money goes into
Renting a hovel
I’m being vain and I shouldn’t complain
Gotta take that whining out of my brain
Hook:
Why they’re always on my back
Acting like they’re all ready to attack
And now they wanna steal my bag
I’m broke
But they always want something from me
Don’t know
Why they’re always on my back
Acting like they’re all ready to attack
And now they wanna steal my bag
I’m broke
But they always want something from me
