Carpet Is Expensive

about

Carpet is expensive. And this is the only song I've written that is based on true events.

lyrics

I spilled coffee on my carpet
No one to clean it before it stains
What in the world am I to do?
I guess I could just get a new one
But I really don't have the money
I'll go rob a financial institution

It didn't have to be this way
It could've been completely avoided
I wish it hadn't been this way
Because now I've got an urge I can't restrain

So I go out and buy a gun
A ski mask and accessories
Some new clothes
And everything else that will be needed to pull off the job
I pull up in front of the bank
Pull out my gun and run inside
Nobody move, nobody get shot
Not one word, or else you're going to bleed a lot

It didn't have to be this way
It could've been completely avoided
I wish it hadn't been this way
Because now I'm officially a bank thief

So I grab the cash
And I haul ass outside
Where police are waiting patiently, they gun me down
Who'd ever think this would be the end of me?
So as I bleed out on the pavement
They ask me why I did it
And this was my answer

I spilt my goddamn coffee
On my goddamn carpet
And didn't have the money to buy a new one
