Everybody's Broke

This is uh, Mr. Fox from Fox and Catching Collection Agency

Miss Brown, you at home?

She won't answer

Better open up this door

You owe us money from a long time ago

Now I want you to try to pay your way out this mess

'Cause I'm getting ready to repossess your Cadillac

Who is dreaming of a scheme

Just so they can pick your pockets clean?

How can you pay your rent

When your money's spent before you get it?

Nothing in your pockets, do ya?

Love it when they sock it to ya

Watching all your dreams go up in smoke

Find your funds are insufficient

Fishing for a cash position

Baby, you're just ordinary broke

Everybody's broke

Ain't nothing funny when they're messing with your money

Everybody's broke (Ain't no joke)

We all ain't got no money

And I don't think it's very funny

Everybody's broke, oh

Busted and disgusted

Well, everybody's got an attitude

'Cause can't no money buy no food

See how they legalize

How their eagle flies (sweet)

When will old Uncle Sam

Find some other scam?

Get your hands out of my pocket, homie

Scary and inflationary

Instead of sitting stationary

Uh, loosen up your grip before we choke

Oh, it's hard to comprehend it

Uh, when it's gone before you spend it

Baby, everybody's broke

Everybody's broke

Ain't nothing funny when they're messing with your money

Everybody's broke (Ain't no joke)

Everybody's broke

You better be careful, look at the statues, look at Wendy

Everybody's broke, oh

Everybody's broke

Ain't nothing funny when they're messing with your money

Everybody's broke (Ain't no joke)

We all ain't got no money

And I don't think it's very funny

Everybody's broke, oh

Listen, welcome to the Great Depression

Oh, this double-dip recession

Enough is never quite enough

(Oh, save and you'll see)

Oh, the cost of living's killing me

I can't afford to buy my own teacup

Thank you, lady

Uh, 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 we're gonna have to take your luxuries away

Ha ha, ha, I ain't, I ain't answering that lady

You're just something fine

I don't want your money

Save it for somebody else

You don't have to lend it

Maybe you can spend it

Or let it collect dust on the shelf

Dig in! Gotta find the means

Dig in! To those francs and beans

Dig in! Deep in your pocket

Where you gonna run when the landlord's knocking?

Dig in! When you're down on your luck

Dig in! You gotta find some bucks

Dig in! Nothing getting cheaper

We'll keep on digging, but the hole's getting deeper

Everybody's broke

Ain't nothing funny when they're messing with your money

Everybody's broke (Joke? What joke?)

We all ain't got no money

And I don't think it's very funny

Everybody's broke, oh

Everybody's broke (Everybody's broke)

Ain't no joke

Everybody's broke (Everybody's broke)

It sure does, everybody's broke

I ain't got no dough, but can I...

Everybody's broke (Everybody's broke, oh)

The world

Everybody's broke (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 (Everybody's broke)

Ain't no joke

Everybody's broke (Don't come knocking on my door)

Everybody's broke
