Broke (Live) Lyrics
Snider
Credit complications in the check out lineIt`s an awkward situation almost every time
They keep your card behind and they keep your groceries too, yeah they do.
You try telling everybody it`s a terrible mistake
But you can tell they don`t believe that`s true
It`s written all over you when you`re broke.
I hung my head down as I walked out the door
I`m never ever going back to that store
They treated me like a bum in front of everyone behind me in line.
It was all my friends and neighbors lookin` at me
Like I`d committed some kind of crime
I guess you ain`t worth a dime when you`re broke.
Why if I had money like I did in my day?
Just out of spite I think I`d give it away
I thought it didn`t even matter anyway
And the more I thought the madder I got.
By the time I got home I was seeing red
I pulled the gun up out from under my bed
I put a sock on my head and into the night I flew, away I flew.
The next thing I know I`ve got blood on my hands

But I`ve got money in my pockets too
You never know what you`ll do until you do what you do when you`re broke.
Now if I had money like I did in my day
I`d buy a car and drive us far away
Of course you know I`ve got a debt to pay to society
Honey, wait for me.
With good behavior I`ll be out in seven years
Don`t worry over me or shed any tears
I`ve learned a lot in here and I know what a chance I blew.
The next time I won`t make the same mistake
I`ll shoot the camera out too
I`m learning all kinds of things you can do when you`re broke, I`m broke.
