'94: haven't got a penny

Singer:magnetic fields, the

i haven't got a penny to my name

and i'm all alone in this city

cause i haven't got a penny to my name

i could sell myself if i was pretty

i'll die alone

no one will mourn

i wish i'd known

and not been born

cause i haven't got a penny to my name

and i've alienated everybody

and i'll never have a penny to my name

i'm a thirty-year-old fuddy-duddy

when i was eight

my mom displayed

our only dollar

we had it made!

now i haven't got a penny to my name

i wish

i wish

i'd not been born
