Twenty Nine Point Nine
by Matthew North 11th March 2010
(Verse 1)
Everybody knows there’s something wrong
Take your time and listen to this song
Words of fortune, words of faith
Do what you can before it’s too late
The Man on the door offers you hope
You didn’t see the rate oh what a joke
Twenty nine point nine you’re unlucky number
Take your money you’re going under
(Chorus)
You Work all day and you work all night
He’s knocking at the door and you're in for a fright
You signed on the line and you made it easy
Twenty nine years and you life is breezy
Working all day and working all night
You didn’t think the loan would take your life
Money is easy but work is hard
You better think twice when you take that card
(Verse 2)
Five years gone you are no better
You’re at the mercy of the debt collector
Robert Johnson sold his song
Nobody knew him till he was gone
Nothings worth getting this mess
Forget the car and save the stress
Kill the TV in the morning
Go outside enjoy the glory
