I got loans, credit cards for days

Two thousand overdrawn ′cause the work don't pay

Could you text me out of something that I might regret?I′m selling all my soul to pay half the rent

Graduate twenty-oh-eight

Part of the recession, making minimum wage

Bank's foreclosed, take away our homes

But our brains just melt staring at our phones

God bless America

Land of the free, et cetera

I don't wanna, I don′t wanna die like this

Working nine to five and a ten to six

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to go

My friend′s got a friend who knows a guy

Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to go

Don't get sick, can′t afford the pills

One damn prescription, plus a thousand bills

Lost my insurance when I lost my wife

Now I can't kill the crazy that′s behind my eyes

Everyday is getting darker

Somehow the Sun seems further away

Staring down the barrel of a gun

It's a deep dive if we take the plunge

I don′t wanna, I don't wanna die like this

Working nine to five and a ten to six

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to go

My friend's got a friend who knows a guy

Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to go

Go get your guns

′Cause you know you won′t be judged

While California burns

And nobody ever learns

I don't wanna, I don′t wanna die like this

Working nine to five and a ten to six

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to go

My friend's got a friend who knows a guy

Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight (What a way to go)

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to go

I don′t wanna, I don't wanna die like this

Working nine to five and a ten to six

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to go

My friend′s got a friend who knows a guy

Ten or a twenty, I can sleep tonight

Whoa, what a way to go

What a way to

God bless America

Land of the free, et cetera
