[Live Intro]
One night I was watching a documentary
On hallucinogenic drugs
Which I think is really the best way to watch a documentary
If you get a chance, but uh-
But it was about, um, it was about, uh-
I don't remeber what it was about, but uh-
But I remember writing this song that night
It's a little song about my financial situation
I hope you enjoy it
[Verse 1]
I just got a letter in the mail
Saying that I failed to pay my credit card in time
And that's a forty dollar fine
Which would've been okay
Except for that it caused me to exceed my credit line
And that's another forty dollar fine
[Verse 2]
So then I get another piece of mail
This one said the balance due is drawn from my checking account
Which caused a bunch of checks to bounce
Which would've been okay
Except the fact that one of those checks was to the DMV
For my registration fee
[Bridge]
So the next day I was on my way to work
And I couldn't find my car
It wasn't where I parked it just the day before
[Verse 3]
And then I get another piece of mail
This one said the registration tags were out of date
So they towed my car away
Which wasn't quite okay
I called them to explain 'em
When I finally got through
They just made me wait on hold
[Break]
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
[Verse 4]
And after forty minutes I hung up
Because I had to go to work
But then I realized
If I don't have a car then how the fuck am I gonna get to work?
So I got fired from my job
[Outro]
So here I am just living in a box
Underneath a bridge in this quiet little town
And I take a look around
Things are quite okay
I don't get any bills
And the best part of it is
That I can't get any mail
(Thanks)
