What Do Ya Do?
What do ya do
when you're flat broke?
Only part time jobs, and
the bills still choke.
there's just no work,
there's no where to go...
So what do ya do?
Heck, I don't know!
Weeks go by, we're
getting hungry...
winter's coming
and still no money.
The phone's cut off...
bad for business.
No outside contacts
no mental assistance!
The dishes' piling,
ain't no soap!
The laundry stinks...
it ain't no joke!
Food is dwindling,
I'm getting skinny.
My nerves as thin
as half a panny!
I work my butt off
for what I get, yet
I'm still drowning...
better yet --
I'm falling through
this deep dark hole...
never again
my head to show!
Getting money
seems such a crime!
Hey... Brother....
Do ya got a dime?
when you're flat broke?
Only part time jobs, and
the bills still choke.
there's just no work,
there's no where to go...
So what do ya do?
Heck, I don't know!
Weeks go by, we're
getting hungry...
winter's coming
and still no money.
The phone's cut off...
bad for business.
No outside contacts
no mental assistance!
The dishes' piling,
ain't no soap!
The laundry stinks...
it ain't no joke!
Food is dwindling,
I'm getting skinny.
My nerves as thin
as half a panny!
I work my butt off
for what I get, yet
I'm still drowning...
better yet --
I'm falling through
this deep dark hole...
never again
my head to show!
Getting money
seems such a crime!
Hey... Brother....
Do ya got a dime?
