Lyrics from Derivakat's Twitch stream (May 21, 2021)

[Verse 1]
Mama told me to work for what you need
Never spending what you can't exceed

[Pre-Chorus]
So I keep on earning my paychecks
And I keep on paying my bills
But I gotta know where the money goes
Slipping out from under my heels

[Chorus]
Why am I broke all the time?
Money is always on my mind
I can't afford to be content
'Cause I can't afford my rent
Why am I broke all the time?
Bank hitting zero at the drop of a dime
Eleven an hour to pay my dues
And it's giving me the blues

[Post-Chorus]
Why am I broke? Am I broke all the time?

[Verse 2]
A day late and a single dollar short
Stuck wearing the same old clothes
Four years of student loans
I'm always on a last resort (Oh shit)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my credit card is maxed
And my debit card is done
So I gotta know where the money goes
You know, this really isn't fun

[Chorus]
Why am I broke all the time?
Money is always on my mind
I can't afford to be content
'Cause I can't afford my rent
Why am I broke all the time?
Bank hitting zero at the drop of a dime
Eleven an hour to pay my dues
And it's giving me the blues

[Bridge]
Why is everything so expensive?
Nothing's making sense
Stuck in all of this misery
And it's making a, making a fool out of me

[Chorus]
Why am I broke all the time?
Money is always on my mind
I can't afford to be content
'Cause I can't afford my rent
Why am I broke all the time?
Bank hitting zero at the drop of a dime
Eleven an hour to pay my dues
And it's giving me the blues
[Post-Chorus]
Why am I broke? Am I broke all the time?
