'94: Haven't Got a Penny - The Magnetic Fields

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
