Lyrics

POE, BROKE AND LONELY
Music and words: Mother Necessity


First thing I hear when I get home from work
Is could you fix the stuff that you broke?
My bills ain?t been paid and I ain?t been laid
In about 4 or 5 damn days

Behind on my rent, all my money?s been spent
How much closer to broke can one man get?
Money makes you high when your spending
But you come right back down when the paper has ended

I base my life on being Poe and Broke
I find my comfort in the occasional drink and smoke


When you place your faith in man and material things
There is no up there?s just down
And if you want my opinion on the words that you speak
Your more attractive when you shut your mouth

Behind on my rent, all my moneys been spent
How much closer to broke can one man get
Money makes you high when your spending
But you come right back down when the paper has ended

I base my life on being Poe and Broke
I find my comfort in the occasional drink and smoke

First thing I hear when I get home from work
Is could you fix the stuff that you broke?
My bills ain?t been paid and I ain?t been laid
In about 4 or 5 damn days

Behind on my rent, all my money?s been spent
How much closer to broke can one man get?
Money makes you high when your spending
But you come right back down when the paper has ended

I base my life on being Poe and Broke
I find my comfort in the occasional drink and smoke
