Stop Payment Lyrics

I'm aware I owe the world a debt
But I am not prepared to pay it yet
'Cause I'm broke, overdrawn
Every penny I have tried to save is gone

Tell me why I have to sacrifice
All my dreams to the gods of real life
'Cause I'm tired, nearly dead
And it doesn't help me get out of the red

I've got nothing left to give so
Why can't they just let me live
It's not what I had planned to borrow
Can I pay it back tomorrow

When you find a better way to live your life, please show me
'Cause I'm so tired of serving people who will never know me

Then the envelopes arrive
Full of bills to pay on time
And all the statements say "remit to"
But the name is never mine
