The roof and faucet leaks
Water drips a beat of poverty
Roaches travel the walls
Mice avoid the traps
Heat and hot water is unpredictable
Just like the weather
The forecast of our happy home
No new furniture but it's still ours
Better than a park bench or a sidewalk
Playing house in the real world
Go out to work six days a week
Just getting by to come home to you
We're gonna make it
Together we will
