FLAT BROKE July 11/85 Karl Rigelhof

They've cancelled all my credit cards
They've closed up all my bank accounts
They've repossessed my brand new car
They say I owe some ridiculous amount

They've disconnected my telephone
I can't even pay my rent
Nobody will give me a loan
Looks like I'll have to live in a tent

My pockets (they) are all empty
They've (really) hurt me where it counts
They're just waiting to see
How high my cheques will bounce

My credit rating's down the drain
Tell me what went wrong
Would somebody please explain
Where my money has all gone

(I guess) now it's time to tighten my belt
And put myself on a budget
With the way my finances are dealt
I wish they all would shove it

(But) there must be some mistake
The computer must have failed
I've got to start to save and scrape
Before they haul me off to jail

CHORUS:
(I'm) flat broke
(And) it ain't no joke
This is serious business
I don't know what to do

I'm in the red
Way over my head
I ain't askin' for forgiveness
Just a buck or two

Deep in debt
I've got to get
Some cash in a hurry
Oh how I worry
If I'll make it through
