Broke
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you say you can't afford to live
Because you're broke, is this a joke?
With a credit card you pay your bills
Because you're broke, is this a joke?
Hey baby, stop acting so crazy
Living way beyond your needs
This affliction and addiction
Isn't free
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah
Na, na, na, na
Life is a ghetto when you're going down
Because you're broke, is this a joke?
The pressure's rising, heading for a stroke
Because you're broke, is this a joke?
Hey baby, stop acting so crazy
Living way beyond your needs
This affliction and addiction
Isn't free
The debt is rising and you overload
Because you're broke, is this a joke?
So go buy something that you can't afford
Because you're broke, is this a joke?
Hey baby, stop acting so crazy
Living way beyond your needs
This affliction and addiction
Isn't free
Hey, hey baby, stop acting, stop acting so crazy
Living way beyond your needs
'Cos this affliction and addiction, oh Lord
Isn't free
