This is a parody of Greenday's "Basketcase" called "Crappy Place"

I owe Aimee credit on this one for giving me some inspiration to complete it when I stumbled into a wall of writer's block. Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About my life and crappy house all at once
It is one of those Bob Vila TV shows
A real fixer-upper, no doubt about it

Sometimes the floors crack and they creak
Rocks through the windows every week
It all keeps adding up
The ceiling's breaking up
Am I just paranoid
Or does this place suck?

I opened the bedroom door, I fell right through the floor
I broke my legs when I finally hit the ground
Constructors, I did talk to fixed my cracked front walk
He said that the house needs to be torn down

The spiders here give me the creeps
Sometimes this place looks really bleak
The mold is building up
My house is cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or does this place suck?

Kitchen's set ablaze
So I better put it out

My house nearly collapsed on me
And now I'm living on the street
I'm in a cardboard box
Newspapers are my socks
Am I just on welfare
Or am I just poor?
