Payday Loan Blues
Looking out my window, wondrin' how it all came to this
The constant phone calls, the nasty letters all give me stress
I took out a little payday loan, just to pay my doctor bills.
At four hundred percent interest, this crushing loan is making me ill.
The lady at the payday store, she flashed me a big smile and she said
A payday loan will help you. It will solve your money problems, she said.
Every two weeks I go back, trying to pay it off, but there's no way.
Now I'm a lifetime debtor cause I signed up at the land of payday.
--
They hand money just like candy, and tell you "take a loan on a lark"
But now I'm broke and hopeless, cause my lender's a modern loan shark.
. . . a modern loan shark.
It goes on and on and on.
[Why do our legislators do this to us?
Hey Someone should put these guys in jail.]
