declinedlyrics

It was back in college, I was hardly 20
I lacked lot of food and money
So buying certain things was kinda hard
But the mail one day brought awesome news
It turned out I'd been pre-approved
For a classy new no-hassle credit card.

I used the card for et cetera things,
No APR, whatever that means
I even bought my clothing by the pile
I tell you there's no doubt about
I was never leaving home without it
Hell, I even earned some frequent flier miles

Well I felt I finally caught my break
Intead of Easy Mac, every night was steak
Hell a simple swipe really isn't all that hard
'Til the waiter seemed upset one day
Receipt in hand, he then did say
Sir, there's been a problem with your card

It's been declined, it's been declined
You've maxed your credit line
You need to find another way to pay
Well it seems you over charged
Your no hassle credit card
You need to make a payment right away

Well I thought that was the damndest thing
Cuz I don't reckon I bought anything
That could total up to all 1,000 bucks
Of course I did buy pink shirts at the Gap
And some things of milk for that silly rap
And there was the shopping spree at Toys R Us

It was frightening news, but I sure was shocked
To hear ten messages in my voice mail box
All left by some dude in Delaware
So I called him back there at his place
Since it surely was some small mistake
But he made sure I's awake and well aware

It's been declined, it's been declined
You maxed your credit line
You need to send a check to us today
Well it seems you over-charged
Your no hassle credit card
Please make another payment right away

So he said that zero APR
Well, it only lasts for the first 4 hours
Before jumping up to 38.2
And your payment, well, was due today
So technically it's considered late
But I'll talk to my manager, see what I can do

Our repo guys have been sent out
They took your car, they took your house
But if you pay today, we'll let you keep your fence
So with the interest garnered on your line
Divide the five and carry the nine
You owe use thirteen hundred dollars and twelve cents

When I got in there to his place
He had a scared-y stare upon his face
Eyes were wide, he tried to hide and I saw fear
"What's in your wallet?" said the dude
And I said ain't nothing, thanks to you
But you said to pay you back, and so I'm here

He said here's your money, here's some more
I'll even fix your credit score
Just don't be upset, just don't you be depressed
If you spare my life, I promise, friend
You'll never pay a bill again
Tell me, what say you to my request?

It's been declined, it's been declined
It's about time you up and died
You need to find a god to whom to pray
Well it appears today
Will be the last time that you say
Please make another payment right away
