Description
This song was written about how people are conditioned from childhood to buy what they can't afford. It is a humerous song how everybody spends way too much rather than saving.
Lyrics
CHORUS: I ‘m a day late and a dollar short again, The banks and the credit card companies are not my friends. I know I should have planned better and not spend all I spend Cause I’m a day late and a dollar short again. Verse1: Watching TV as a youngster is where it beginned, I had to have a pocket fisherman to show my kin. When they said you get a second one for free if you’re the next a-hun-erd orders in, Like a nicotine addiction, I learned to spend. CHORUS: Now I ‘m a day late and a dollar short again, The banks and the credit card companies are not my friends. I know I should have planned better and not spend all I spend Cause I’m a day late and a dollar short again. Verse2: I was roll’en high, and the money just kept comin in. With the credit card company’s plastic I only had to pay the min. The Bank gave me a ninja loan for my house I was livin in. Then I lost my job and now I’m eating from a dogfood tin. Verse3: The tax man, at the door, said let me in. I’ve spent a trillion dollars, I need your dogfood tin. We had to bail out the Wall Street because they have really sinned. Else our government retirement will pay us only in gin. CHORUS: So I‘m a day late and a dollar short again, The banks and the credit card companies are not my friends. ||: I know I should have planned better and not spend all I spend Cause I’m a day late and a dollar short again. :|| Cause I’m a day late and a dollar short again.
