en-ve-lopes

my friend
so send

letter's in the mail
tell me your tale
you always got sumpin' to sell

or a credit card that is new
with not interest in you
yeah right
until that night
i spent it
i rent a $$$ or 2
so ture

taxes that are due
they send those too
past due
in an en-ve-lope
hell i ain't no dope

word's from an old lover
read 'em over & over
then you discover
your Discovery Card

an other past due
for you
in the en-ve-lopes
stupid ass

an old bill to pay
an old love where you lay
in the en-ve-lope

what's a stamp cost
35 cents
but if i had any sense
i'd rents
what i have lost
i'd pay the cost
upfront
just take the brunt

the checks in the mail
there in an en-ve-lope
so just give it a stamp or 2
but an en-ve-lope will do
to pay you
past due
