Debt

Did you lose your demons, deep in your pockets.
I don't want to spend my life this way.
Just tell me the pirce I'd pay but I must say
The pain you are causing is not worth the profit.
But I wouldn't mind the extra time
And the extra peace of mind that it brings
I wouldn't mind if I could afford an air conditioner in the summer,
Or for the heat in the winter while they live like kings
I'm so tired of this dead-end job.
My dad's worked his whole life just to give me a life to live.
I think we can agree that they are a bitch
But there's gotta be more in life than this
