Broke & Happy

(album: Closure - 2021)

10 years ago, broke and happy was the way
Ripping road sodas in the van everyday
Middle of nowhere, hauling ass to the show
Plastic bottle vodka got us ready to go!
Grew up on the road, new city every night
Wouldn't have it any other way, that's right!
So breathe it in!

If you wanna say that shit to me, you better say it to my face
You'll never tell me that we didn't earn our way
So shut your mouth, go on and learn your fucking place, you fucking bitch

Took acid on the rim of a canyon
Sold out shows in a country that we're banned in
Drunk with a homeless dude under a bridge
Blacked out that night, what city is this?
Ran from the cops one night in Chicago
It's a fucking party everywhere that we go
We always had fun, before the music paid us
Now we're fucking rich, everybody wanna play us

If you wanna say that shit to me, you better say it to my face
You'll never tell me that we didn't earn our way
So shut your mouth, go on and learn your fucking place, so eat our shit

Now I'm older shit's different
Rich and sad is what I'm living
Broke and happy was the way
This shit is hard to be explained...
You'll never know what we been through
Never caught a break, now it's overdue
But shit was better in the past
We got fucked up and we smashed some ass

Everything was different back in the fucking day
Different city, different bitches, no fucking pay
Never had a place to sleep and never had peace
But we still stayed happy and we never skipped a beat
Always stayed positive the show goes on
When I had no money I had no problems
If you can relate then you know I'm being real
"More money more problems" that's the truth, y'all feel?

If you wanna say that shit to me, you better say it to my face
You'll never tell me that we didn't earn our way
So shut your mouth, go on and learn your fucking place, you fucking bitch

If you wanna say that shit to me, you better say it to my face
You'll never tell me that we didn't earn our way
So shut your mouth, go on and learn your fucking place, so eat our shit
