Walking to work at 5 am
Cause some bastard stole my car
Moved to L.A. to live the dream
But minimum wage is all I got so far
Twelve hours later walking home in the rain
I'm so tired, I could cry
But after my shift, I got an hour in the studio
I wrote an awesome song and that's why...
I'm gonna celebrate my day with top ramen tonight, oh yeah
My future's lookin' so damn bright
I'm super duper fancy, got my wine in a box, oh yeah
I know my life fuckin' rocks, it fuckin' rocks
I got one penny-a, two penny-a, three penny, four
Can't believe I worked this hard to be this poor
One penny-a, two penny-a, three penny, four
I can hear my landlord knockin' at my door
All I need is a hunderd thousand pennies mo-o-ore
Work all day and dream all night
I'm topping charts with my guitar
Manager called me, said I got a gig
It doesn't pay but it's good PR
So I'm gonna celebrate my day with top ramen tonight, oh yeah
My future's lookin' so damn bright
I'm super duper fancy, got my wine in a box, oh yeah
I know my life fuckin' rocks, it fuckin' rocks
I got one penny-a, two penny-a, three penny, four
Can't believe I worked this hard to be this poor
One penny-a, two penny-a, three penny, four
I can hear my landlord knockin' at my door
Five penny, six penny, seven penny, eight
It's the ninth time that my rent is late
Nine penny, ten penny, and that's the last one
Got 99 problems and I can't afford any of them
I got one penny-a, two penny-a, three penny, four
Can't believe I worked this hard to be this poor
One penny-a, two penny-a, three penny, four
I can hear my landlord knockin' at my door
Five penny, six penny, seven penny, eight
It's the ninth time that my rent is late
Nine penny, ten penny, and that's the last one
Got 99 problems and I can't afford any of them
