I got loans, credit cards for days
Two thousand overdrawn 'cause the work don't pay
Could you text me out of something that I might regret?
I'm selling all my soul to pay half the rent
Graduate twenty-oh-eight
Part of the recession, making minimum wage
Bank's foreclosed, take away our homes
But our brains just melt staring at our phones
God bless America
Land of the free, et cetera
I don't wanna, I don't wanna die like this
Working nine to five and a ten to six
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to go
My friend's got a friend who knows a guy
Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to go
Don't get sick, can't afford the pills
One damn prescription, plus a thousand bills
Lost my insurance when I lost my wife
Now I can't kill the crazy that's behind my eyes
Everyday is getting darker
Somehow the Sun seems further away
Staring down the barrel of a gun
It's a deep dive if we take the plunge
I don't wanna, I don't wanna die like this
Working nine to five and a ten to six
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to go
My friend's got a friend who knows a guy
Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to go
Go get your guns
'Cause you know you won't be judged
While California burns
And nobody ever learns
I don't wanna, I don't wanna die like this
Working nine to five and a ten to six
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to go
My friend's got a friend who knows a guy
Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight (What a way to go)
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to go
I don't wanna, I don't wanna die like this
Working nine to five and a ten to six
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to go
My friend's got a friend who knows a guy
Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight
Whoa, what a way to go
What a way to
God bless America
Land of the free, et cetera
