Date With Poverty Lyrics - The Human Factor - Metal Church

I live my life the best I can, sometimes I need a change 

Losing all my marbles wasn't part of the game 

Existing day by day, tormented by the telephone 

It's hard enough to live my life, why don't you live your own? 

I pay out money with a check, I never use the cash 

Collectors closing in on me, is this some kind of test? 

Borrow is my middle name, the banks give graciously 

With interest rates that terrify, they knock you senselessly 

Bounce a check 

Lie a bit 

Do without 

I'm in hiding, just leave me be 

This is the first step to my date with poverty 

You sit there in your cushy job and call me on the phone 

You want my money and everything I own 

I'll pay you soon as I get paid, the check is in the mail 

Don't call my home anymore, I've long since jumped bail 

Bounce a check 

Lie a bit 

Do without 

I'm in hiding, just leave me be 

This is the first step to my date with poverty 

I'm in hiding, just leave me be 

This is the first step to my date with poverty 

Living on a shoestring daily 

Maybe I'll make some money maybe 

I hope to make a living someday 

Then I'll, I pay you what I owe you 

Then you'll get off my back 

Someday I'll get ahead of things and life will be so grand 

I'll buy a house down by the beach, stick my feet in the sand 

For now I'll do what I can do to keep this dream alive 

Until I win the lottery, I must survive 

Bounce a check 

Lie a bit 

Do without 

I'm in hiding, just leave me be 

This is the first step to my date with poverty 

I'm in hiding, just leave me be 

This is the first step to my date with poverty 

I'm so fuckin' broke 

I can't even afford to pay attention 

Don't you know who I am? 

You got any food? 

I need a drink 

Aw, fuck you
