There's a smile that comes over your face
When you finish dead last in the race
When the TV set has gone on the blink
And the dishes are piled high in the clogged sink
When the bill collectors call on the phone
And you answer "Well I'm sorry but I'm just not home"
Then you know just what you gotta do
Join the people with nothing left to lose
Nothing to lose (Nothing to lose)
Nothing to choose (Nothing to choose)
No complications (No complications)
No allegations (No allegations)
No stipulations (No stipulations)
We've got nothing to lose
When there's no gas left at all in your tank (I just put 50 cents worth in last week)
And your checks come bouncing back from the bank
When you're working two jobs and looking for number three (Hey man you want fries with that?)
Yet you pay more taxes than corporations like GE (It's called corporate welfare for a reason)
When the bill collectors call on the phone (Hello, this is the bill collector)
And you answer "Well I'm sorry but I'm just not home" (I'm on safari in Africa)
They know just what you gotta do (What am I gonna do?)
Join the people with nothing left to lose (Is this a support group?)
Nothing to lose (Nothing to lose)
Nothing to choose (Nothing to choose)
No complications (No complications)
No allegations (No allegations)
No stipulations (No stipulations)
We've got nothing to lose
Here's the Sunshine Kazoo Band
When the bill collectors call on the phone (Hey I'm here to collect)
And you answer "Well I'm sorry but I'm just not home"
They know just what you gotta do (What am I gonna do?)

When the power company's left you in the dark (I'm blind I can't see)
And somebody stole the battery out of your car (Ha ha ha it's a dead battery)
When the phone's cut off and the truck is repossessed (Don't take my truck)
And you've just found out you'll be audited by IRS (What do you mean my bar tab is not tax deductible?)
When the bill collectors call on the phone (Hey this is Luigi I'm here to collect)
And you answer "Well I'm sorry but I'm just not home"
They know just what you gotta do (What am I gonna do?)
