"Young Broke" lyrics

Tell me sir
What am I doing wrong
I followed all your rules
I went to school
And still I couldn't get a job
Sir
Please return my calls
There's poison in the well
You built
And poison in the walls
So sir
I'm not trying be a problem
Just trying to understand
How can you profit off the treatment
When the blood is on
You Sir
Can't' wash it off your hands
It's underneath your fingernails
It's written in your plans

You promised fire
But sold me smoke
Oh, I'm so tired
Of doing what I'm told
I can't afford
To sell my soul
Gotta get rich fast
Or die young broke
And I won't die young broke
Ooh ooh ooh
And I won't die young broke
Ooh ooh ooh

Sir
LA's burning
Kids sleeping on the streets
Damn your thoughts and prayers
Can't you give them some relief
Can't you see the hurting
Can't you see the pain
Sir every single persons
Got a face and got a name
They're not just dollar signs
Not numbers on a page

You promised fire
But sold me smoke
Oh, I'm so tired
Of doing what I'm told
I can't afford
To sell my soul
Gotta get rich fast
Or die young broke
And I won't die young broke
Ooh ooh ooh
And I won't die young broke
Ooh ooh ooh

(You promised fire but sold me smoke
Oh, I'm so tired of doing what I'm told)
