Staying straight got me so strung out

Being sure just put me in doubt

Your teaching really made me dumb

Don't call me slacker 'cuz I am a bum!

Hang around the wrong kind of streets

Can't get out but I can take the heat

Smokin' cigarettes 'til I choke'Cuz

I was born baby born to be broke



Born broke

Oh yes I'm born broke

Oh yes I'm born broke

Born broke



Down another six-pack

Please get 'em off my back

If I can keep the I.R.S. away

From my guitar I will be O.K.



'Cuz I'm broke Oh yes I'm born broke

Oh yes I'm born broke

I'm born broke

Born broke



Staying straight got me so strung out

Being sure just put me in doubt

Your teaching really made me dumb

Don't call me slacker 'cuz I am a bum!

Hang around the wrong kind of streets

Can't get out but I can take the heat

Smokin' cigarettes 'til I choke

Cuz I was born baby born to be broke



Born broke

Oh yes I'm born broke

Oh yes I'm born broke

Yes I'm born broke

I'm broke

Yes I'm born broke

Yes I'm born broke

Yes I'm born broke
