Welfare Problems
Randy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dr, Dr I need a cure cause I got a problem that I can't endure
Too much of this and too little of that
First I was too thin and now I'm way too fat
There is something wrong with me
I've become my own enemy

My back hurts cause my bed's too hard
Some blow is stuck on my credit card
I feel sick when I play my ps2 and my gamecube too
There is something wrong with me
I've become my own enemy

I've got welfare problems
And I can't get you out of my mind

Dr, Dr I need a cure cause I got a problem that I can't endure
If I drink from Monday to Friday
Then I'm too tired to drink on Saturday
There is something wrong with me
I've become my own enemy

I've got welfare problems
And I can't get you out of my mind

Welfare - problems
One for the money, two for the show
Took a piss outside and I ate the snow





I've got welfare problems
And I can't get you out of my mind

Overall Meaning

The singer expresses a sense of desperation and helplessness, seeking a cure to alleviate their problems, but finding none.


The repeated refrain "I've got welfare problems, and I can't get you out of my mind" seems to suggest that the singer may feel trapped in their circumstances, unable to escape or move on from their struggles. They may be intensely aware of their poverty and struggling to make ends meet, which causes them great anxiety and distress. Alternatively, the "you" in the refrain could be a romantic partner or someone they have a complicated relationship with, who is exacerbating their problems.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of frustration and despair, touching on universal themes of economic hardship, addiction, and the feeling of being trapped. However, there is also a wry sense of humor to the lyrics, which adds a layer of depth and poignancy to the song.
