Ian Thompsen - Spent the Rent lyrics

[Verse 1] I got a call from the landlady Asking for the rent I said, "I'm sorry, but that money's already been spent See, I had to go out and put gas in my car And then I went back and spent the rest at the bar Besides, the house I'm paying you for is falling apart I could go live on skid row and that'd be just as smart" She said, "You lousy, broke punk, that's the price you gotta pay But if you don't have the rent, you can have it your way!" [Pre-Chorus] I got a bad predilection For a good time addiction And now I got my I got my notice of eviction [Chorus] Spent the rent! Yeah I spent the rent Because landlords and warlords Ain't nobody's friends Spent the rent! You know I spent the rent Because landlords and warlords Ain't nobody's Nobody's Nobody's friends [Verse 2] I got a letter from the taxman Demanding my funds I said "I'm sorry, but I ain't gonna buy no guns For a war the president didn't need to declare So he can send my friends to fight and die over there Besides, I'd rather spend my cash on beer Than pay any cop's salary working round here" He said, "For that Commie-talk, we'll lock you up, so beware!" I said, "At least in jail, I'll get decent health care!" [Pre-Chorus] Conscientious objector And now I'm on a vector To being locked up by that Homeland Security inspector [Chorus] Spent the rent! You know I spent the rent Because landlords and warlords Ain't nobody's friends Spent the rent! You know I spent that rent Because landlords and warlords Ain't nobody's Nobody's They ain't nobody's friends Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah Freak out! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Spent the rent! I spent the rent Because landlords and warlords Ain't nobody's friends Spent the rent! You know I spent that rent Because landlords and warlords Ain't nobody's Nobody's Nobody's friends They ain't nobody's friends! They ain't nobody's friends!
