How Far Can I Afford To Go (A Moana Parody Song)

[Sing along Karaoke-style with the link in the comments section below]

I've been staring at the edge of my patience

Longer than I can take it

Never really knowing why.

I wish

I could just live with my mamma

But then I'd come back to the trauma

No matter how hard I try.

Every job I take,

Every house I track

Its my life at stake,

But every career leads back

To the place I know

I don't want to go,

Where I long to be.

See that home with the fence and the trees?

It calls me.

And I know

I can't afford to go.

And the debt that keeps coming after me

In this economy

One day I'll know

If I go, I'll start my life as a hobo.

I know

Everybody in their houses,

Seem so

Happy to have houses.

Oh, interior design.

I know everybody in this country

Has a role to be hungry.

A tummy's gotta learn to mime.

If I stay inside,

Would that be so wrong?

I could sacrifice

And cry all nightlong

Maybe save my tithes;

Sadness tags along—

What is wrong with me?

And the light in the sky that is free

It's blinding

But then I know:

I can't afford to go

And the stress it keeps clawing after me,

Its so heavy.

But I don't know

What's beyond that porch,

Can I own a porch?

See that house with the birds and the breeze?

It calls me

And even though,

I can't afford to go.

If I cling to this hope I'll break free,

If I'm lucky

Cuz my heart, it knows:

I've got to go!
