(Have Already Worked For Food)

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?
