Hi Guys

this song is about irony surrounding how money engulfs eveything at some point or another
possibly clouding things we take for granted

opinions would be fantastic

Broke

I'm sure you'll find another guy
I may just find a girl too
I've learned not to ask the reasons why
I was too busy trying to be me and you
reasons can only break you're soul
all I know is I'm tired of being broke

Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke

Most men and some women too
find their gods under steeples
while others find Jesus hiding
in a dirty little needle
don't know who's the bigger fool
all I know is I'm tired of being broke

Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke

Left my key behind the lock again
a smile and a sincerely fake handshake
the question is money my friend
I guess too much talk rots the tongue
do you use that or your mind to bend
all I know is I'm tired of being broke

Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke

No, I've got no hidden message this time
philosophy was never my strong suit babe
working boots and the picking line
dance along to the self fulfilled prophecy
I'd take a stab at the meaning of life
but all I know is I'm tired of being broke

Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Oh, I'm tired of being broke
Wild hearts... Blue jeans and white T-Shirts

I really like this lyric and feel it has great potential. I love how powerful the verses are yet how simple the chorus is and they marry together perfectly. Verse 2 is an example of fine penmanship, its simply genius and I think he reference to dirty needle brilliant, a very, very powerful image.

What style are you shooting for with this - acoustic, singer/songwriter/rock?
