You can have your econ degrees and wonky political symposia, I'll take a southern rock jam over that any day of the week, thank you very much! Supply-side economics doesn’t stand a chance against the tasty licks and fat groove of this rocker!

Here are the lyrics:

Who would have thought the money would run out
When you stopped bringing money in?
And when I try something that doesn’t work
I can’t wait to try it again
I got tired of always having to win
Now I’m as broke as Kansas

I couldn’t afford my school
And I’ve taken out payday loans
All my rainy day reserves
Have already been blown
I’ve pawned nearly everything I own
Now I’m as broke as Kansas

You know I still believe
Though everyone can see
That everything around me is going down in flames
But I still sleep at night
‘Cause I always think I’m right
And I always find someone else to blame
That's why I’m as broke as Kansas

You could tell I’d wind up here
If you took one look at my plan
People say I should to make a change
But change ain’t who I am
I'm not stubborn, I’m just living in a van
‘Cause I’m as broke as Kansas

My belief was pure
I couldn’t be more sure
That what I did would help me to be strong
But now I'm in a bind
And I still won’t change my mind
'Cause I can’t learn if I won’t admit I’m wrong
That’s why I’m as broke as Kansas

Other people would see what’s going on
And would figure out that they had had enough
But I’ll stick with things I’ve believed all along
I’d rather be wrong and look tough
That's why I’m as broke as Kansas
I'm as broke as Kansas
I'm as broke as Kansas
I'm as broke as Kansas
