Threadbare

There's a certain kind of tummy ache that comes from money problems

As it rises to the top squeezed by the rise at the bottom

No one can take the pain from you unless you find a financial savior

But for most of us it just grinds on

No matter how much we slave and labor

My clothes are getting threadbare

My hands are dry and cracked

But I'm told that if I give up now there'll be no diamonds to collect

My clothes are getting threadbare

My hands are dry and cracked

But I'm told that if I give up now there'll be no diamonds to collect

I feel weak, I can't afford to eat again

I feel bleak, no money here to heat my place

I feel sick, got debt up to my ears today

Oh, I feel scared, I can't see how to make this go away

I feel wrecked

One more drop of blood they say and it will all be over

One more year of trying hard and you'll see the fruits of favor

Well, all the time you're counting down you'll see no little light

Just more rocks to trip you up in a tunnel of endless night

I feel weak, I can't afford to eat again

I feel bleak, no money here to heat my place

I feel sick, got debt up to my ears today

Oh, I feel scared, I can't see how to make this go away

I feel wrecked

My clothes are getting threadbare

My hands are dry and cracked

But I'm told that if I give up now there'll be no diamonds to collect

My clothes are getting threadbare

My hands are dry and cracked

But I'm told that if I give up now there'll be no diamonds to collect

I feel weak, I can't afford to eat again

I feel bleak, no money here to heat my place

I feel sick, got debt up to my ears today

Oh, I feel scared, I can't see how to make this go away

I feel wrecked
