I know that it's evil I know that it's got to be Know I ain't doing much Doing nothing means a lot to me Living on a shoestring A fifty cent millionaire Open to charity Rock 'n' roll welfare Sitting in my Cadillac Listening to my radio Susy baby get on in Tell me where you wanna go I'm living in a nightmare She's looking like a wet dream I got myself a Cadillac But I can't afford the gasoline I got holes in my shoes And I'm way overdue Down payment blues Get myself a steady job Some responsibility Can't even feed my cat On social security Hiding from the rent man Oh it makes me wanna cry Sheriff knocking on my door Ain't it funny how the time flies Sitting on my sailing boat Sipping on my champagne Susy baby all at sea Say she wanna come again Feeling like a paper cup Floating down a storm drain Got myself a sailing boat But I can't afford a drop of rain I got holes in my shoes And I'm way overdue Down payment blues Down payment blues Down payment blues Down payment blues I got holes in my shoes And I'm way overdue I got the down payment blues
