lyrics

I can't afford furniture. I just get wasted.
Off whatever I can get with my lousy paycheck.
Now, I'm employed, but it's not that bad.
Cuz I still got more than what I ever had.

And that's a good time every night
with the love of my life and some cheap box wine

If you want to lead a happy life
You can't work the hectic 9 to 5s. Settle for the cash of the part time.

You don't need debt of credit cards
No bigass house with acres of backyard
No G6, No yachts, no expensive cars
Reach for the ceiling if you want the stars

I eat so much free range organic poultry
With my government issued food stamp money

If you want to lead a happy life
You can't work the hectic 9 to 5s. Settle for the cash of the part time.
If you want to lead a happy life
Don't fight with stress cuz you'll get your ass kicked. Stay home to beat the rush hour traffic.

But what about the children? We need health insurance.
We can't afford the mortgage. We're gonna wind up homeless!

I don't have all the answers.
I don't have all the right solutions.
I just know that for me this is better
Being a poor but spiritual human.
