The only people who have ever kept my attention didn't pay me back
I guess that's why I'm broke
I don't wanna be a beggar but I stay this way
They read and walk past my signs but
I'll have my day
And when I do I'll make someone else's
Eventually they'll pay me back
But slowly over time
(Dropping a quarter in the cup)
Or every once in a while
giving me the idea that theyre still trying
And I blow it all on something I "need"
That only lasts a moment.
I can never save up
So I stay broken
Because I can never say no to being paid what is due to me.
Who would deny?
