Metal Church - Date With Poverty Lyrics
I live my life the best I can, sometimes I need a change
Losing all my marbles wasn't part of the game
Existing day by day tormented by the telephone
It's hard enough to live my life, why don't you live your own?
Collectors closing in on me, is this some kind of test?
Borrow is my middle name, the banks give graciously
With interest rates that terrify, they knock you senselessly
Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
This is the first step to my date with poverty
You sit there in your cushy job and call me on the phone
You want my money and everything I own
Don't call my home anymore, I've long since jumped bail
Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
This is the first step to my date with poverty
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
This is the first step to my date with poverty
Living on a shoestring daily, maybe I'll make some money maybe
I hope to make a living someday, then I'll pay you what I owe you
Then you'll get off my back!
Someday I'll get ahead of things and life will be so grand
I'll buy a house down my the beach, stick my feet in the sand
For now I'll do what I can do to keep this dream alive
Until I win the lottery I must survive
Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
This is the first step to my date with poverty
I'm in hiding, just leave me be
This is the first step to my date with poverty
I'm so fuckin' broke
I can't even afford to pay attention
Don't you know who I am?
You got any food?
I need a drink
Aw, fuck you

This almost feels like the prequel to Anthem to the estranged
Why didnt these guys become rock superstars in the 80s? This song is on my playlist since early 90s and i saw the video today for the first time.

One of my all-time fave band! Mike is pure talent and Kirk awesome, I think they are both incredibly underrated but I’ve always considered them as top musicians.
Cool video as well, watched soooo many times back then on VHS recorded from Headbangers Ball or smth 😃
When they ask for Air Miles i think they said Hair Miles! I could use some Hair Miles!
Great song and video

I'm the one that you think has a similar vocalist sebastian beach to you?
One of my favorite songs of them. No matter who they had as vocalist there were always great gems on every album.
@MightyPootisFish AAAAAND MIKE IS BACK!!!!!
this is the first Metal Church song/video i ever heard. I heard this on Much Music's old "Power Hour" show, that's when Much Music actually played music.
+Sudsy Sutherland Yeah i remember when MM played music. First it was Power Hour, then downscaled to Power 30, then downscaled to nothing but stupid bullshit 'reality' shows
Excellent thanks VEVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watched this on the german Headbanger´s Ball with Vanessa Warwick in the glory days!
metalla
Good times for the music
Honey for the ears.
For me this is the second best line up to Metal Church. First with Wayne. This new Metal Church is ok but those new songs i listen only few times. To old Metal Church I always come back.
1:21 THRASH BEER AND PIZZA METAL EPIC MOMENT XD
QUE PUTO GRUPAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
2:48 - The best bend in the history of heavy metal.
Awesome Band! But way too underrated! I always loved Metal Church with Dave Wayne and Mike Howe!!!!!!!!!
1 person no like this video mmmmm i think is very stupid !!!!!!
crank this up ffs
Mike Howe is superrrrr!!!
Mike Howe may have a more powerful voice than Ronney Monroe, but none of them can hold a candle to Dave Wayne!!
Telephone? These days we've cell phones!!
Metal Church Rules \M/
fuck banks!!! this isn't power metal! this is HEAVY!
FUCKIN PERFECT
must be pretty awkward
They're just pretending
come on VEVO put up watch the children pray
video's location is a fucking heavy metal heaven...
Steve is the best singer Metal Church ever had.
I HATE YOU VEVO, VEVO WILL TAKE IN YOUR EYE CÚ
I hate you vevo!!!!
@2:39 I love the bass :D I love this song. I herd that Kurdt said the reunion of the band is possible. Amen! Amen! Amen!!!
Metal Church is the only church for me! You rule!!
