Preapproved, Predenied (from ‘Let’s Go Dancing’ the songs of Kevn Kinney)

Well I used the change from the kitchen drawer

To buy an off-brand soda from the corner store

Well I been pinching every dime

I squeeze so hard that it buys me time

I'm afraid to check the mailbox

between the bills collectors hide

with their promises and giveaways

they tease me with their credit lines

I’m pre approved

pre denied

I’m pre approved

pre denied

I gotta work two weeks to pay my rent

I gotta work three days just to keep the lights on

I’ve gotta work two days just to get to work

I've gotta work a day to pay the fines

 

and with what's left gotta feed the children

and with what's left gotta dress the children

And with what's left I got to find a job

and with what's left I've gotta find a life

somewhere in between

 In between

I’m pre approved

Well I got a letter in the mail the other day

It Said Dear Case, Peter

You’ve been approved for a wonderful credit line

and the interest doesn’t go up to 29% until after the first year

Uh well I didn’t want to be rude so I wrote back and I said “Dear Diner’s Club, I don’t think so. Just how stupid do you think I am?”

‘Cause the working class is under attack

we play by the rules and we pay our taxes

And the politicians say they know you

just so they can get elected

and then they hide behind their walls

and they never take your calls

And meanwhile

 I’m pre approved

pre denied

pre approved

I’m pre denied

I’m pre approved

I’m pre denied

I’m pre approved

I’m pre denied

Ya get it?

I used the change from the kitchen drawer

And I been pinching every dime

I squeeze so hard that it buys me time

And I’m afraid to check the mailbox

Between the bills collectors hide

With their promises and giveaways

They tease me with their credit line

And I

I’m preapproved
