HTWAS #10: Life Is F***ing Expensive (by Jenni Lark) by How To Write A Song published on 2017-03-09T13:39:06Z https://youtu.be/oXz_O4m8C20 Living free is great, until you need money Paycheck to paycheck, you can tolerate; til you need money When the choice is between life and death, You better be ready to end up bereft if you don't have money Capitalism works fine, unless you don't have money Trickle down sounds like a gold mine, unless you don't have money The system makes plenty of sense Til you get an unexpected expense And you you need some money I'm a lucky one, I have family to call But these things don't last at all You can't count on money Pursuing your dreams feels sweet, unless you run outta money Dance to your own drumbeat! Maybe they'll throw you some money Make your art and have a ball But don't expect some kinda windfall You might run outta money Cause when the choice is between life and death, You better be ready to end up bereft if you don't have money Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
