Lyrics
You call me up and say you wanna come and live at my place,
You called me and expressed a desire to live with me.
I don't know how you think that we'll both live on minimum wage,
I am unsure how we can sustain ourselves on minimum wage.
I've got to get to work this morning but I'm already late,
I need to go to work, but I'm running late.
You've got to try and help out and put some food on our plate.,
You need to contribute and help provide food for us.
The debt is rising and I think we'll have to recalculate,
Debt is increasing, and we may need to reassess our situation.
I've sold my stuff and everything I've got is now on Ebay.
I've sold my possessions, and everything is now on sale on Ebay.
Ebay, ebay, ebay
Repetition emphasizing that everything is now on Ebay.
Is now on Ebay
-Ebay, ebay, ebay
-I lost my job today, they've taken all my pay
Expressing the shock and frustration of losing a job and all income.
How can it be this way? How can it, how can it?
-I lost my job today, they've taken all my pay
-Why must it be this way? How can it, how can it?
-You're stressing out, but what have you been doing all day?
Addressing the partner's idleness throughout the day.
Please help me out, we've got to find alternative ways.
Plea for assistance and exploration of alternative solutions.
