Check the mail, your rent's been waiting  The time has come to pay the bills  And these envelopes ironically  Make it easy to send back the money scraped    Procrastinate, they'll send another  Until Big Brother comes and kicks you in the ass  Your time is running out  And your priorities need order once again    Your cell phone is dying, your card's interesting  Your cable's growing rabbit ears  And the mess you've created for them and yourself  Is pouring the sweat, and it's shedding the tears over you    Oh, where to start? not paid until Thursday  And even then, just fifty bucks  Because your wage is minimum  Along with your skills so you can't find better work    Oh, what to do? still owe that one guy  And these dimes I've found beneath the couch  Aren't enough to buy the stamps  For the letters piling up, for the "thank you's" to my grandma  Who's been sending me the checks  For the food and for the rent and all this shit    All of these things that we don't even need  All these brand names known useless  All of the times that we've made sacrifice for love  And disregard a meaning for life
