'94: Haven't Got a Penny

I haven’t got a penny to my name
And I’m all alone in this city
Cause I haven’t got a penny to my name
I could sell myself if I was pretty
I’ll die alone
No one will mourn
I wish I’d known
And not been born
Cause I haven’t got a penny to my name
And I’ve alienated everybody
And I’ll never have a penny to my name
I’m a thirty-year-old fuddy-duddy
When I was eight
My mom displayed
Our only dollar
We had it made!
Now I haven’t got a penny to my name
I wish, I wish
I’d not been born
