"Everybody's Broke"

Lyrics Written By Christian Elias On Dec. 9, 2002 At 4:16 A.M.

I'm going up to everybody and their brother just to find a job
But when I ask them the question they just look at me and sob
As unfair as it seems and as bad as the economy is
Is it no wonder why anyone is not working in the biz

Everybody's broke
And it ain't no joke
Everybody's out of money
And it ain't funny

Most people just seem to be waiting for work to come around
Others have found any little 'ole job in town
They have the spirit because they don't want to quit
In unison they all think it's gone down to the pits

Everybody's broke
And it ain't no joke
Everybody's out of money
And it ain't funny

Since the last time they've worked, some have put money away
Some did real good but are now scratching today
When will things pick back up is what one can only hope
We look forward to that time than to sit around and mope

Everybody's broke
And it ain't no joke
Everybody's out of money
And it ain't funny
