SCOTT TOFTE

Direct deposit, finally got it safe-secured in my account

I been hurtin’ with this burden got a negative amount

I’m in the black, I’m in the red. It won’t matter when I’m dead

Burning a hole down to the soles of my shoes, handin’ out my bread.

 

Went to college to get a job which only pays back student loans

Get the statements, make the payments or they’ll take everything I own

My interest rates are through the roof, I’ve got receipts if you need proof

In a mad dash for some fast cash, I pawned the filling from my tooth

​

Can't wait till pay day, checks already spent      

Damned car insurance, damned cellular, damned rent

Blame the taxes, price of gas, its barely enough to make a dent

All the money in the world, Mine's already spent

 

Paper money, it’s so funny. Haven’t seen it in a while

Over-drafted, pass the hat, kids….like it’s going out of style

Brother can you spare a dime? I’ve got to get to work on time

Punch the time card, working so hard but I can barely afford to rhyme

​

Can’t wait till pay day, check’s already spent

Damned television, damned high speed internet

Blame the government, the President, I’m barely making cents

All the money in the world…Mine’s already…….

​

Spent my last 5 bucks on a Beatles cassette

They say “Money Can’t Buy Me Love…” but it would get me out of debt

I think I need to buy a new pair of pants

But I just can’t..

​

…Wait till pay day, check’s already spent

Damned Great Recession, Damn Creditors, Get Bent!

Blame economics, Plate tectonics, you can blame my ex-girlfriend

All the money in the world, Mine’s already spent
