Lyrics
Listen I've got a bit of fiscal trouble
Expressing financial difficulties.
I don't want a sub but I need a few bob
Desire for money despite not wanting a subscription.
In the last year I've seen my debt double
Noting a significant increase in debt over the past year.
An I can't pay it off 'cause I ain't got a job
Unable to pay off debt due to unemployment.
It must have been the small print I misunderstood
Misunderstanding terms, possibly in a financial agreement.
The offer on the leaflet looked so good
Attracted by an appealing offer but facing hidden issues.
I was poor, my mum was rusting
Describing a challenging financial situation in the past.
The man on the advert looked so trusting
Skepticism towards trustworthy appearances in advertisements.
Isn't it funny, how people spend there life away
Reflecting on the irony of people spending their lives.
Buy now pay later then consolidate your life
Critiquing the cycle of buying on credit and consolidating debts.
On day time telly, the trusted man brings piece of mind
Daytime television offers false security and solutions.
And a life-line for those who don't work
Highlighting assistance for those without employment.
And isn't it funny, how people live a life of debt
Observing people accumulating debt to strangers.
To one person, that they have never met
Questioning the logic of indebting oneself to an unknown person.
On the leaflet, just sign on the dotted line
Signing without fully understanding the consequences.
Stay in the red 'til the day that your dead
Suggesting a life in debt until death.
I'm tryna keep from debt and all I do is spend spend spend
Struggling to avoid debt despite continuous spending.
I can't afford that much so why they let me lend again?
Questioning the logic of being allowed to borrow when unable to afford it.
I can't bank on, a credit culture life of greed
Criticizing a culture that encourages a life of greed through credit.
I don't know how I'll cope with mortgages and mouths to feed
Anxiety about managing mortgages and supporting a family.
Isn't it funny, how people spend there life away
Reiteration of the irony of people spending their lives.
Buy now pay later then consolidate your life
Repeating the critique of buying on credit and consolidating debts.
On day time telly, the trusted man brings piece of mind
Daytime television providing false comfort and solutions.
And a life-line for those who don't work
Highlighting assistance for those without employment (repeated).
And isn't it funny, how people live a life of debt
Reiterating the observation of accumulating debt to strangers.
To one person, that they have never met
Repeating the question about indebting oneself to an unknown person.
On the leaflet, just sign on the dotted line
Reiterating the act of signing without understanding.
Stay in the red 'til the day that your dead
Reiterating the suggestion of a life in debt until death.
Listen I've got a bit of fiscal trouble
Repetition of expressing fiscal trouble.
I don't want a sub but I need a few bob
Repetition of the desire for money without a subscription.
In the last year I've seen my debt double
Repetition of the significant increase in debt.
An I can't pay it off 'cause I ain't got a job
Repetition of inability to pay off debt due to unemployment.
It must have been the small print I misunderstood
Repeating the idea of misunderstanding terms in an agreement.
The offer on the leaflet looked so good
Reiterating attraction to an appealing offer with hidden issues.
I was poor, my mum was rusting
Repeating a description of a challenging past financial situation.
The man on the advert looked so trusting
Repeating skepticism towards trustworthy appearances in advertisements.
Isn't it so funny how we, people spend our lives away
Highlighting the humor in how people spend their lives.
isn't it funny, how people spend there life away
Reiteration of the irony of people spending their lives.
Buy now pay later then consolidate your life
Repeating the critique of buying on credit and consolidating debts.
On day time telly, the trusted man brings piece of mind
Reiterating the false security provided by daytime television.
And a life-line for those who don't work
Reiteration of assistance for those without employment.
