This song's about being financially down on your luck.

lyrics

Verse 1
I’ve been struck by the bounced cheque blues
I’ve been struck by the bounced cheque blues
That plastic devil in my wallet seduced me
Making big spending look so easy now
I’ve been struck by the bounced cheque blues
I saw a new toy and I had to have it
Convinced myself it wouldn’t be a habit now
I’ve been stuck with looking for loose change in the couches

Verse 2
I’ve been struggling with the bounced cheque blues
I’ve been struggling with the bounced cheque blues
Tried to get a job at the general store
But got turned down cuz’ times are hard
So, I’ve been struggling with the bounced cheque blues
Nowadays a resume just ain’t enough,
It’s hard to make a living when the doors are shut
I’ve been seeing how when it comes to money there’s no room for love

Verse 3
I’ve been sufferin’, got the bounced cheque blues
I’ve been sufferin’, got the bounced cheque blues
Frozen breakfast, microwave lunch and dinner
Eating scraps and old leftovers cuz’
I’ve been hungerin, got the bounced cheque blues
No caviar for this rising star
If I lose the house gotta sleep in the car
I’ve been hopin’ the better days will be comin’ around
I’ve been hopin’ the better days will be comin’ around
I’ve been hopin’ that the money will be rollin in somehow
