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
