got no money to be your lover
got no money to travel and see you
got no money
cause
i’m still trying

got no money
cause
i didn’t give up
and resign to
nine to five
building up vacation time
and dying

got no money
got no business degree
got no degree in finance
or accounting

got no money
because i am still trying
and because i am irresponsible
and because work slowed down in August
and instead of finding work
i finished a screenplay.

i’d rather be
writing all day
than give it up for the comfort of a life
that’s easy;
struggling for more than the mediocrity
that aims to destroy all our souls.
