[Chorus]
Too broke to overdose
I pawned my life and put it up my nose
And I ain't dead, you're comatose
'Cause I'm too broke to overdose

[Verse 1]
I went down to the Red Cross bloodbank
Sell my blood, buy some cream
But the nurse, he told me my veins were too sclerose
Now I'm busted down in Bakersfield too broke to overdose

[Verse 2]
And I'm comin' down off a seven-month binge
I'd sell my soul to fill this ole' empty syringe

[Chorus]
And now I'm too broke to overdose
I pawned my life and put it up my nose
And I ain't dead, you're comatose
'Cause I'm too broke to overdose

[Verse 3]
And I know damn well that I'd be better off dead
I pawned a gun that I could've used to bullet in my head
[Chorus]
And now I'm too broke to overdose (baby it hurts)
I pawned my life and put it up my nose
And I ain't dead, you're comatose
'Cause I'm too broke to overdose
I'm too broke to overdose
I'm too broke to overdose
I'm too broke to overdose
