Everybody’s Broke

Lyrics

(This is Mr. Foxxy... get your collection... Miss Brand-new at home? She won't answer...) (You open up this door... you owe us money from a long time ago Now, I want you to try to pay your way out of this mess I'm getting ready to repossess your Cadillac!) [Verse 1] Who Is dreamin' up a scheme Just so they can pick Pick your pockets clean How Can you pay your rent When the money's spent Before you get it Nothin' in your pockets do ya Love it when they sock it to ya Watchin' all your dreams Go up in smoke Find your funds are insufficient Fishin' for a cash position Baby, you're just ordinary broke! [Chorus 1] Everybody's broke Ain't nothing funny When they're messin' with your money Everybody's broke (Ain't no joke) [Post-Chorus] We all ain't got no money And I don't think it's very funny Everybody's broke (Flat-busted and disgusted... why everybody's got an attitude, when can't nobody buy no food?) [Verse 2] See How they legalize How the eagle flies (sweet bird) When Will old Uncle Sam Find some other scam (Get your hands outta my pocket, homie) Scary and inflationary 'Stead of sittin' stationary Uh, loosen up your grip before we choke! It's hard to comprehend it When it's gone before you spend it Baby, everybody's broke [Chorus 1] Everybody's broke Ain't nothing funny When they're messin' with your money Everybody's broke (Ain't no joke) [Chorus 2] Everybody's broke Ya run outta cash Ya look in the stash It's nothin' but empty Everybody's broke [Chorus 1] Everybody's broke Ain't nothing funny When they're messin' with your money Everybody's broke (Ain't no joke) [Post-Chorus] We all ain't got no money I don't think it's very funny Everybody's broke! Listen... [Bridge] Welcome to the great depression Uh, it's double dip recession Enough is never quite enough (Oh say, can you see) Oh, the cost of living is killing me! I can't afford to buy own tin cup Thank you, lady [Interlude] Hello, miss Jackson. I hate to bring bad news to you But uh, you know your payment's past due? Uh, you better get your payment in my office today Or I'm gonna have to take your luxuries away Ha ha, ha ha, I ain't- I ain't dancing to this [Vamp] Tell you something funny I don't want your money Saving for somebody else You don't have to lend it Baby, you can spend it Or let it collect dust on the shelf Dig in! Gotta find a mean Dig in! To those frightening beams [?] Dig in! Deep in your pocket Where you gonna run, when the landlord's knockin'? Dig in! When you down on your luck Dig in! You gotta find some buck Dig in! Nothing getting cheaper! We all keep on digging, but the hole's getting deeper [Chorus 1] Everybody's broke Ain't nothing funny When they're messin' with your money Everybody's broke (Joke? What joke?) [Post-Chorus] We all ain't got no money I don't think it's very funny Everybody's broke [Outro] Everybody's broke ...body's broke, oh Everybody's broke It sho' ain't no joke Everybody's broke ...body's broke It sho-nuff ain't no joke Everybody's broke Nuh-uh, I ain't got no dough, [?] Everybody's broke Everybody's broke It ain't no joke We all ain't got no money And I don't think it's very funny But uh... everybody's broke Everybody's broke Ain't no joke Everybody's broke Don't come knocking on my door! Everybody's broke Everybody's broke
