money problems

I have never not had money problems

it's the most predictable part of my life

the bills keep on rising

and the numbers don't add up right

I have too little money in my savings account

I have too much debt due to credit

I have no cash in my back pocket

this would bother me if I let it

I have never not had money problems

they define me more than I would like

the end of the month always comes too soon

it tells me to go take a hike

I try my best to budget well

but it never really seems to work

I always start out hopeful

I always end up hurt

I have never not had money problems

I must account for every cent

and then when I look at my balance

I wonder where my money went

one day I may have more money

but that's a long time away

but till then I'll keep on hoping

for a way to hold on to my pay
