Die Like This

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 2008

Heart of the recession, making minimum wage

Banks foreclose, take away our homes

But our brains just melt staring at our phones

God bless America, land of the free, etcetera

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

For a 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 cost a thousand bills

Lost my insurance when I lost my wife

Now I can't cure the crazy that's behind my eyes

Every day it's getting darker

Somehow the sun seems farther 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

For a ten or a twenty I can sleep tonight

Whoa, what a way to go (What a way to go)

Go and 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

For a 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

For a 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, etcetera
