| Song | Date With Poverty |
| Artist | Metal Church |
| Album | The Human Factor |
| 作词 : Howe, Vanderhoof | |
| I live my life the best | |
| I can, sometimes | |
| I need a change | |
| Losing all my marbles wasn't part of the game | |
| Existing day by day, tormented by the telephone | |
| It's hard enough to live my life, why don't you live your own? | |
| I pay out money with a check, | |
| I never use the cash | |
| Collectors closing in on me, is this some kind of test? | |
| Borrow is my middle name, the banks give graciously | |
| With interest rates that terrify, they knock you senselessly | |
| Bounce a check | |
| Lie a bitDo without | |
| I'm in hiding, just leave me be | |
| This is the first step to my date with poverty | |
| You sit there in your cushy job and call me on the phone | |
| You want my money and everything | |
| I ownI'll pay you soon as | |
| I get paid, the check is in the mail | |
| Don't call my home anymore, | |
| I've long since jumped bail | |
| Bounce a check | |
| Lie a bitDo without | |
| I'm in hiding, just leave me be | |
| This is the first step to my date with poverty | |
| I'm in hiding, just leave me be | |
| This is the first step to my date with poverty | |
| Living on a shoestring daily | |
| Maybe I'll make some money maybe | |
| I hope to make a living someday | |
| Then I'll, | |
| I pay you what | |
| I owe youThen you'll get off my back | |
| Someday I'll get ahead of things and life will be so grand | |
| I'll buy a house down by the beach, stick my feet in the sand | |
| For now I'll do what | |
| I can do to keep this dream alive | |
| Until I win the lottery, | |
| I must survive | |
| Bounce a check | |
| Lie a bitDo without | |
| I'm in hiding, just leave me be | |
| This is the first step to my date with poverty | |
| I'm in hiding, just leave me be | |
| This is the first step to my date with poverty | |
| I'm so ****in' broke | |
| I can't even afford to pay attention | |
| Don't you know who | |
| I am?You got any food? | |
| I need a drink | |
| Aw, **** you |
