(Chorus)
Petey had his mouth to feed,
he woke up to his house graffitied,
bank account depleted,
empty kitchen out of wheaties,
No answer per acquisition,
with misdemeanors convictions,
No job for his description,
in all the Terms and Conditions,

(Verse 1)
its been, much hotter this summer in the salt bed that he has grown in,
in the land of milk and honey but with non of the cream to go with,
employments low end better off selling salt rocks to snowmen,
hope knocks, he's got mail, unread inbox, double click and that quick its open, resume accepted 4:15 interview's the next step,
get clean in a suit thats been best kept,
he's thinking "lets bet another job lost when they get the background check back," learned to expect that, turns out they didn't check that,
marking the end of his money set backs,
hourly wages for makin up months lost and he's happy to sign that contract,
w4 form Pete's on that, training in the morning he can sleep on that,
reformat, to work on a call floor unready for his first contact,

(Chorus)
Edey, had her kids to feed,
she woke up to her house graffitied,
bank account depleted,
empty kitchen out of wheaties,
No answer per acquisition,
with misdemeanors conviction,
No job for her description,
in all the Terms and Conditions,

its been a rough one for edith,
a single mother with 3 kids,
father keeps on the weekends,
only income she gets is child support when he can afford,
but on this morn she pulled her online bank report,
read negative 94, said plus 10 when she read it the night before,
$81.32 Deducted, from a web site that she was sucked in,
she bought it for a dollar something, thinking she can make some quick ducats, luck it seems it is not deploying, troubled water no longer buoyant,
overdraft fee to add to torment, sarcasm's laugh of enjoyment,
is the mode she grabs up the phone in, smile with blood thats boiling,
pressing keys with the frustration from 4 months unemployment,

Edey, had her kids to feed,
she woke up to her house graffitied,
bank account depleted,
now she's gotta deal with Petey,

she can't believe the racket that she ordered,
Money's been stolen, and she cant afford it,
she's got 3 little bears no porridge,
and there's not a thing to show for it,
Petey spoke like its all unimportant,
you didn't read fine print so now her we are,
the webs ain't safe to blindly put your card in,
all fee's none refundable - sorry,
he didn't care from the spot that he was sitting,
nothing gonna stop him from the money he was getting,
dog eat dog in a time of recession,
pre-marked box for the terms and conditions,
so now this is, permanently with him,
he woulda done different if he could have in an instant,
stop let the outsider listen, its 2 lost souls both fallen victim

(Chorus)
Petey i got kids to feed,
even got out house graffitied,
bank account depleted,
and my kitchen's out of wheaties,
No answer per acquisition,
with my misdemeanors conviction,
No job fits my description,
in any Terms and Condition

thats when petey stops, realizes what he's become,
contributing the evil power money has over freedom,
seemed to touch a soft spot a place where he now bleeds from,
before he disconnected he said I feel you but no refund...
