Here’s a song reflecting the themes you described, about individuals who mismanage their finances and struggle with the consequences:
Verse 1
Woke up in the morning, same old routine,
Empty wallet, chasing another dream.
Every fortnight, hits the same old spot,
Playing poker with fate, but he’s losing a lot.
Chorus
Oh, can’t you see, you’re wasting away,
Beggin’ for money, living day by day.
Drinking your troubles, drowning your pride,
While the family at home just watches you slide.
Verse 2
Beer in your hand, woman at your side,
Spending like there’s no tomorrow, but you can’t run and hide.
They eat instant noodles, but you’re painting the town,
While the weight of your choices, it’s bringing you down.
Chorus
Oh, can’t you see, you’re wasting away,
Beggin’ for money, living day by day.
Drinking your troubles, drowning your pride,
While the family at home just watches you slide.
Bridge
Wanting to change, but you don’t even try,
Caught up in the games and the foolish lie.
You can’t buy respect with a hand full of dust,
Time to wake up and reconsider your trust.
Verse 3
Life’s about more than just chasing a high,
Family’s your treasure, don’t let it run dry.
Put down the bottle, and look in their eyes,
It’s never too late to break free from the lies.
Chorus
Oh, can’t you see, you’re wasting away,
Beggin’ for money, living day by day.
Drinking your troubles, drowning your pride,
While the family at home just watches you slide.
Outro
So stand up and fight, take back what you’ve lost,
Love is more precious, don’t count the cost.
It's time to be smart, no more living like a fool,
Reconnect with your heart, that’s the real golden rule.
