Yesterday I had a cigarette I drank a little beer
I saw the lights in the tunnel and the track was clear
I had so much money, I could piss it up the wall
But I did not realise how the mighty fall
Well, I'm tired of living in the red
Yeah, I'm tired of living in the red
Now it's a different situation that I'm fighting today
I ain't had no money since the company days
I got the red round tax-man knocking on my door
Said if you don't pay you'll be in trouble with the law
But I'm tired of living in the red
Well, I'm tired of living in the red
When the day comes with a different situation
Every day I try to find a different solution
I get up early, stay out late
Till my feet feel like lead, they kill me
I get so depressed, don't know what I'm gonna do
I got holes in my pants, I got holes in my shoes
Every day I find I'm getting more misery
Think I'll find a rope and a big hanging tree
But I'm tired of living in the red
Yeah, I'm tired of living in the red
Tired of living in the red
Yeah, I'm tired of living in the red"
