Something To Spend

Monday morning make no money
Take tuesday off to count it
Take a photograph and mount it
Make a three mile hike
In the heaving rain
And explain again
That you've not found work yet
And you do feel worthless
But it's not as if you're not trying
Not as if you're not dying a thousand deaths
Under every rejected breath you take
So on wednesday you wake
With a weed hangover
Retinas wrecked protective specs
Reflect overexposure to coke and cola
Night draws closer nightmares come
Dreams and reality merge as one
You'd fight off gravity but come undone
Still at least you dodged the dark side son

Stuck to a sofa bed
Sunday sadness alchaselzer snooze
Head dead from booze
Losing motivation to move
Lost your money lost your voice
You lost your lady
So you got nobody
You got no choice but to sit the day out
Lounge it away hit the hay around eight
One week left till your next dole check
That's seven days of fighting
That's seven ways to make life exciting
Glutany greed the green eyed monster
Lusting after ladies you know don't want ya
Envious of those without holes in their clothes
A fat wad of notes a tendency to gloat
As your sitting in the dark with an ice-cold heart
Got cash for electric card
Times are hard so are we
I'm broke and I wanna get my money for free
Where's the dream that they sold to me
In the 1980's on MTV

And you can't get your hands on demand deposits
Your currency's currently a cloud because it's
Out of your reach underhand dishonest's
Are telling you that they understand
The chronics not gonna help
But the hydroponics
Bubble in a basement
Why d'ya wannit
Why when you stride do you hide your bonnet
Look to the sky then ride upon it

And you can't get your hands on demand deposits
Your currency's currently a cloud because it's
Out of your reach underhand dishonest's
Are telling you that they understand
The chronics not gonna help
But the hydroponics
Bubble in a basement
Why d'ya wannit
Why when you stride do you hide your bonnet
Look to the sky then ride upon it
