SONGWRITING

Debby Broke Me

By: Laura Alford

Debby and the Charleston heat
They broke me, really broke me
Talkin bout broke, me

Flooding down on Market Street
Stock prices really cheap
Crash started overseas

Don’t matter cause
it broke me, really broke me
Talkin bout broke, see?

Cherokee’s got that righteous weed
Take a toke but you can’t leave
Only smoke tobacco weeds

Liquor lobby’s
Broke me, really broke me
Talkin bout broke, me

Inflation’s up, can’t afford to eat
Politicians trading memes
Hiding crimes behind the scenes

Am I the only one who sees
That we’re broke—we
Morally broke—we
Talking bout broke, see

Now that we’re all woke
In this sinking boat
The Fed is out of float

We gotta ask
Who broke me?
This Country Tis of Thee.
Who broke me?
Who broke me?
Who broke me?
