Rain has made the ceiling wet
Landlord helps me stay in debt
Tells me I'm just paying market rate
Half my wages for a room
One missed paycheck and I'm doomed
Too much worry time to medicate
Less than dirt
21st Century Serf
Got no savings got no rights
AC doesn't work at night
Landlord says he'll fix it in a week
My boss texts at 9pm
Work has stalked me home again
Take some meds when things are looking bleak
Less than dirt
21st Century Serf
Lunch is always tuna hash
Waiting for the housing crash
All this dread is making me feel ill
Bank account anxiety
Only sleep sporadically
If I'm cured then I can't buy more pills
Less than dirt
21st Century Serf
