In my defense, I need money
Insurance and groceries too
It’s not like I really love it
It’s just something I have to do
But you know that it don’t
Pay the bills like it used to
And you know that they don’t
Really know how to relate
And you don’t really know
How they can be so full of hate
In my defense, I need money
Insurance and groceries too
It’s not like I had a choice
I wasn’t born with a rich man’s voice
So you vote and you hope
Things change someday soon
Though you know the money don’t
Give a sh*t about you
So you show and you vote
So things change someday soon
So you show and you vote
So things change someday soon
