about: SONG BY ARCHIE POWELL
MUSIC BY THE EXPORTS
lyrics: Ain't nobody gonna cover the rent
And now we're trying to weasel out of the lease
We can't seem to get the numbers under control
Cuz everybody seems to do as they please
You dig a little deeper on the way to the joint
You know there's somewhere that we'd all rather be
Well everybody seems to have their hand in the jar
It's always harder when there's no guarantee

Keep pushing along with no luck
Somebody's about to see you out, baby
Ain't gotten a piece for so long
It don't pay the bills

Sleeping in the van where the dials are blown
And the signals haven't worked for a week
It's hard to keep from thinking 'bout the tickets you owe
It seems your bank account is springing a leak
Cut the trip shorter than you'd ever before
It seems the warehouse is calling your name
But every day you hate it just a little bit more
You spend the summer and you're never the same

Six years going and it's time to assess
If we've taken all there is to take
But now I'm feeling apathetic and I gotta confess
I think we're never gonna catch us a break

When you're thinking 'bout your wallet in the penalty box
And you're sorry that you went for the team
You know it doesn't matter if you've been to college or not
Cuz rock and roll is just a pyramid scheme

Keep rolling along, it don't put
A roof over your head to sleep it off honey
Ain't gotten a piece for so long
You can't get your fill
