Get Ahead

I'm late on the rent again

Gave Galen half my cheque

You know them rich boys on high horses

Are getting richer by the hour

Tried explaining to my kids

Even swimmers are sinking

And you can't buy your way out of the poor house

When all your cards are overdrawn

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

Since when did a buck replace all the fuss

You used to give about people stuck in ruts

I'm scared to move just one god damn inch

Cause' I'm running out of pennies to pinch

And I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

They say the world's on fire, but it's still raining dollars

So we'll keep doing what we're doing

Pitch yourself a tent on the corner of the city

And wait for control of the rent

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it

I can't get ahead of it
