I'm up every morning before the sunshine comes rolling in

And that rooster starts crowing and that reminds me
That I need to feed him
And everyday's the same but everyday's different
And everyday I go deeper in debt
.
And you can't cash my checks

And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into the water
But you can't hold me under
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
.
Its so hard to stay honest in a world that's headed to hell
You can't make a good living these days
Cause the fruit just won't sell
So if you go out my backdoor just over the hill
You'll see all these plans that's been paying my bills
.
But you can't cash my checks
And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into the water

But you can't hold me under
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
.
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
.
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
.
