When You Borrow Money
Listen to poem:
When you borrow money you never stay paid
Some lenders you seem to owe until you hit the grave
They become that extra bill you didn't want in the place
Trying to pay them back and not to make them chase
In a system that causes us to borrow from one to pay another
Almost makes you want to refuse any help given and to suffer
It seems as though you have to report your movements in life
Explaining every detail if your payment isn't right
It doesn't matter if you have paid on time in the past
They seem to want their money back and want it back fast
Each week worked for you're trying harder to get out of debt
Receiving your check wishing your gross amount was your net
You ever been trapped in a maze and can't find your way out
That's what borrowing would lead to so never take that route
