lyrics

I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
I know that you don't care cause you don't have a dime to spare, but I'm broke.
(ladadadada) I'm broke...

It's not that I don't have a job. I make 100 per week.
Minimum wage at a place where no one respects me.
Money spins the world around, with the greedy and the crowned.
I'm not complaining, I'm just stating, I have no freedom
and can't get out.
Unfortunately for me, college keeps increasing in price,
and I just want a career that I would actually like.
Momma tells me always have a plan B,
cause you never know when life is gonna make you give up on your dreams.

I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
I don't want to need your help, but I can turn to no one else.
I'm broke. Singing on the street "I'm broke"..

Tried to get a second job to make my life a lot less hard.
I wonder if they saw the scars on my legs or on my arms.
Both college and insurance I'm still trying to pay.
But how can I do that when I'm collecting spare change?

I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
I'm sorry cause I wish that I could buy you the world, but I'm broke.
(ladadadadadadada...)

Suicidal thoughts? Well, I just need to act tough.
Can't be crying over how I'm never gonna be enough.
Can't afford the therapy or the drugs I probably need.
But isn't this what it means when they say "work hard to reach your dreams"?

I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
But just because I'm broke doesn't mean I'm gonna give up hope.
(ladadadadada) No...
I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'll hope...
Guess I'm just a stubborn dope.
