Broke Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of In Transit

In Transit: Broadway’s First A Cappella Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[NATE]
Can I just take a second here
To clear the air, and bend your ear
I’m not sure you quite understand
Why you should lend this friend a hand
I’m an educated, stand up guy
Who is more than just a suit and tie
Just a decent and hardworking man
Who always had a five year plan
So jeez
I mean, please
I’m no scammy, slimy slob
I’ve just veered off my track a bit
Cause ma’am, I’ve lost my job
I’m totally broke
And this feeling is new to me
I’m suddenly broke
And it’s not like it used to be
I had regular hours
And magical powers
And cufflinks and clout
Now I’m broke
And kinda freakin’ out
[ALTHEA (spoken)]
You are not singing the blues to me, sir.
[NATE]
I was a master of the universe
A golden boy with a golden purse
But not one of those Wall Street jerks
Though I will admit, I liked the perks
Like that private jet we flew to france
And these hundred dollar underpants
And the Lexus
And the river view
You know feed the children? I fed two
But my rent’s three months late
And I’m living on ramen and beans
Shoulda put it away
For some rainy day
Now I know what a rainy day means
I’m flat broke
From a decade long spending spree
Unbelievably broke
Facebook friends are unfriending me
[NATE]
If I could go back in time
I’d go back and tell
Myself to pay attention
I would not write that joke
Describing my boss
With words I should maybe not mention
Delete it, Nate! Not worth it, man
The payoff’s really small
But the consequences will be huge
When you hit
Reply all
[ALTHEA (spoken)]
Dumbass.
[NATE]
I’m broker than broke!
And not just financially
This whole thing has brok-
En my sense of who I should be
Cause my Amex is
[NATE & COMPANY]
Maxed
[NATE]
My MasterCard
[NATE & COMPANY]
Maxed
[NATE]
My Bloomingdale's, Bendel's & Barney's
[COMPANY]
All maxed
[NATE]
Oh my T.J.
[COMPANY]
Maxxed!
[NATE]
Foot Locker
[COMPANY]
That too
[NATE]
I’m drownin’ in debt and don’t know what to do
I know it seems squalid
But do me this solid
I know that you can
[NATE (spoken)]
This Metro card was my only card that still worked.
[NATE]
Oh, please
Please sweet lady
Help a baffled
Broken
Broke-ass
Man
