Repo

Quietly and late at night, they move down dim lit street looking for that wayward car, the payments incomplete The borrower five months behind, tries to keep it hid won't give it up without a fight, their life in downward skid Offensive in their nature, they'll try and stop the tow violence, damage, verbal threats, they will not let it go They find it backed up in the drive, a mongrel is on guard before the dog suspects a thing, a bone's thrown in the yard Can't resist, he chases it, they quickly grab their tow they're gone before the debtor wakes, he doesn't even know The car secured inside their lot, picked up without a fight the toe truck freshly fueled again, heads back into the night.....
