lyrics

What can I do to pay my rent
The rent is due and my money’s spent
I spent it on this when it should of been that
Didn’t know where my life was gonna be at

Lost my job, no income in sight
Can’t pay the bills cause these times are tight
Not the only the one that feels this way
we have to accept this is our day to day

Can’t do this, can’t do that
Social distancing is where is is at
All my labor, never had no love
Will Someone please sent some help...from above

I want to drive around in my car
Drive downtown to my local bar
Miss my family and all of my friends
And every single hug I get from them

Can’t do this, can’t do that
Social distancing is where is is at
All my labor, never had no love
Will someone please send some help from above

It’s ruining my life and it's ruining yours
Wish this virus would run its course
It's a global problem and is serious
Dreaming of the day can wash….our hands of this

Can’t do this, can’t do that
Social distancing is where is is at
All my labor, never had no love
Will Someone please sent some help from above

What can I do to pay my rent
The rent is due and my money’s spent
