Another day, another debt

B

How much worse can it get

C#m

A whole lot worse it's safe to bet

Can you see the light, not yet

Didn't feel much better cause that registered letter

Got to the old lady and it really upset her

Said that I'm a criminal debtor

I owe, I owe, I know, I know

Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic

It doesn't matter what I do

She's gonna keep on sinking

Really made her holler

But the skies they still seem sunny

And I've got no regrets

I've been rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic

It doesn't matter what I do

She's gonna keep on sinking

Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic
