Broke Ass Blues

from Don't Get Anxious by Meggan Carney

/

lyrics

Well you're barely making rent
You're elbow deep in debt
All that's in your pocket is a broken cigarette
You're walking kind of slouched and your head is always aching
Your check is always in the mail but oh how long its taking

I got the broke ass blues

Well it seems thath every body thinks they've got to slave away
It wouldn't be so bad if Big Brother wouldn't squander all my pay
But hey
We're all together and we're doin fine
Everybody's laughing and it didn't cost a silver nickel
So if you've to find you've got a hole in your shoes
Get them toes a'tappin while I sing the
Broke ass blues

I got the broke ass blues

Hey there sir you've got some nerve walkin up to me
Shimmering your fancy watch and shimmering your teeth
Talking 'bout your Tesla and your caddy coupe deville.
No sir I don't need a ride but I'm sure you'll find a nice young drunk girl who
Will you make come noise out loud if you know what I mean
I don't think that we were meant to die for that machine
So come and gather round and make your tattered shoes move
And listen while I sing the broke ass blues

I got the broke ass blues

Her music is enchanting, romantic, and organic; a tender young woman's tales spun into a raw and fearless web of psych-electronic sonance. ... more
