I'm Busted, a Poem
All the man owned was a bit of my time
But now I'm busted
I'm busted
And half out of my mind
When the money ran out, she stopped being kind
I told her I was just a victim of the times
I was busted
Only busted
And half out of my mind
I'd buy me a whore, if I had the cash
If I had the money I'd be smoking grass
But I'm busted
Just busted
And I'm fading fast
What lies ahead, I can't really see
Sitting here drinking with guys just like me
We're busted
Just busted
And nothing's for free
Ain't got a car, ain't got a dime
All I got is a few of these miserable rhymes
Cause I'm busted
Only busted
And half out of my mind
Yeah I'm totally busted
But I'm only
Half out of my mind
