Lyrics

(AM BEEN) BROKE
I am broke I am broke
just like a mute man speaking out about his busted bicycle spoke
I am so broke I can't even afford to croak
spent my life setting up a joke
I am so broke

I must be blind, I am blind
it goes on right under my nose and right behind my behind
I am so blind, the emperor's clothes sure did shine
I'm so glad I made them mine
I am so blind

It's because I am dumb, I am dumb
I keep trying to speak in that language only dollar bills can tongue
I am so dumb, here's the candlestick professor plum
paid me to wipe down with my thumb
I am so dumb

It's because I am not right, no I can't be right
in spite of my beautifully bright shining multi-colored soul light
I am not right, cause when things go slump in the night
there'd better be a boogeyman to set the sights
and it must be me cause I am not right

cause I have been broke, I am been broke
now I'm that mute man speaking out about his busted bicycle spoke
I am been broke, with a cracked mirror and a little smoke
I'm chomping the bit to load my yoke
I am been broke
I cannot even afford to croak
spent my life setting up this joke
I am been broke
