We Owe
Navigating Debt: Dance Hall Crashers' Anthem to Financial Struggles
Lyrics
I don't know just where it
I'm uncertain about the direction of my life
All goes, I', in debt up to my nose
I have a significant amount of debt
Get credit now for 20 percent, buy a car, don't spend a cent
Obtain credit at 20 percent interest, buy things without spending money
Take a ride, don't you like nice,
Take a luxurious ride, prioritize appearance over substance
You can look good for a price
Looking good comes at a cost
Go to London for a year, hope you can survive on a beer
Travel to London for a year, hoping to survive on a tight budget
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
Feeling trapped in accumulating debt like sinking in quicksand
I feel us choking
Sense of suffocation or pressure due to financial struggles
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
Expressing the burden of debt, emphasizing the repeated nature
I don't know who thought that I would do well with a credit line
Uncertain about who believed I could manage well with a credit line
First it was a stereo, then a snowboard and a phone
Sequence of purchases starting with a stereo, snowboard, and phone
Finally found a new guitar, put some money down on a car
Finally acquiring a new guitar, putting money down on a car
Next gig ain't for seventh weeks, holy hell I'm up a creek
Facing financial difficulties as the next gig is weeks away
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
Reiterating the feeling of sinking in financial trouble
I feel us choking
Reiterating the feeling of suffocation due to financial pressure
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
Emphasizing the ongoing and accumulating debt
I don't know where it all goes, guess it was the job I choose
Unsure where the money went, attributing it to the chosen profession
Gone a week and late on rent, my landlord is always bent
Being late on rent after a week-long absence from work
You'd think I could save a dime, working alway, all the time
Despite working all the time, struggling to save money
Want to quit but I don't know, oh we owe, we owe, we owe,
Considering quitting but uncertain about the future
We owe
Repetition emphasizing the accumulation of debt
I don't know where it all went, haven't got a single cent
Unable to trace where the money went, having no funds
Took my car away from me, now I'm riding RTD
Car repossessed, resorting to public transportation (RTD)
Cut my card up yesterday, guess it's the price I pay
Destroyed credit card, acknowledging the consequences of actions
Got a new one in the mail - look at me settin sail
Receiving a new credit card in the mail, continuing the cycle
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
Reiterating the sinking feeling in financial quicksand
I feel us choking
Reiterating the suffocating feeling due to financial struggles
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
Reiteration of the ongoing and accumulating debt
