[Intro]
Yeah
Cause it's the recession right?
Yeah
We're broke as fuck
Yeah
(So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
Broke as fuck
Cause the phone bill's late
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
Yeah
The landlord just put the rent up
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
So we're gonna give you a little bit of how-to-survive, y'know
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?)

[Verse 1]
Now rule number one, never get caught
And if you do, then run
But don't come back, at least for a couple of months
And if you're paranoid, like something just feels wrong
Know there's always more fish in the sea, to steal from
Uh-huh
Now, you should be happy as hell
Cause every single shop in the world is having a sale
Let's say you buy one, you get one free, up the shirt
And don't worry about the camera, cause that doesn't work
And even if it does, I bet the dude behind it doesn't, so
Why not bite a muffin in the store like its nothing
And then put it back
Then ask the guard "What are you looking at?"
You look away, and then you take another one
How good is that?
First you get the money and then you get the power
Now first you get the soul take, then you get the flower
Don't forget the washing powder and you better get the soap
Cause it's hard getting clean when you're dirt broke
[Chorus]
I said the power bill's due and the phone bill's late
(So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
You got food on your mind, but none on your plate
(So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
And you're standing in the line with a sirloin steak
(So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
I said take that shit, take that shit, take
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?)

[Verse 2]
Yeah we work all week, play all weekend
And if it's too steep
Don't pay, just sneak in
Now everybody in the club, do the queue skip
And if you can't pay, then here's a few tips
Just point to a name on the door list
Tell her that it's you
And if she don't believe, then make a raucous
Tell her that you're one of the performers
Start giving orders, like give me a bottle of Gordon's
And a couple of orders with a slice of lime
Oh you only got lemon? Alright that's fine
Say "Hey DJ, hey DJ"
We're gonna pull the plug if you play T-Pain
Now, everybody in the club got the hard cash
I'll just act as If I know the dude with the bar tab
And if it don't work, let the wine glass smash
And when he turn his back, do the credit card dash
[Chorus]
Cause the power bill's due and the phone bill's late
(So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
And you're standing in the line with a tummy ache
(So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
I said the dude on the door just went for a break
(So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?)
We gotta take that shit, take that shit, take
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?)

[Outro]
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?)
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?)
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?)
(So whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?)
