Repo Man Lyrics

Everybody pay attention to what I'm going to say
I'll tell you my story so you'll understand
What it means to be broke, dropped and fired in one day
To wake up every morning with the feeling it doesn't matter anyway

Once upon a time things were going my way
Nothing ever happened that could bring me down
Thinking that the good times were always gonna stay
But it's been a long time since I've seen a sunny day

Living in the 'burbs, waiting for the repo man
To take away my car, due to insufficient funds
I got nowhere to go, and my wife just ran away
With my lawyer and credit cards, but that's ok
They never worked anyway

Growing up I listened to my parents as they said
"Go to school get a job and then you've got it made"
Maybe that formula worked back in their day
But I can tell you brother that a lot of things have changed

Looking through the window on to the driveway
Watching for the repo man 24 hours a day
Stepping outside I raise my .45
Giving up the future for today
It never worked anyway, I'm waiting for the repo man
