Fiscal Cliff |
| Talkin' shit about a «fiscal cliff» |
| A lot of effort at imagining |
| A situation, even a crisis |
| Just a distraction from the main event: |
| They gave you credit |
| Then cut your card up |
| Gave you a student loan but there’s no work |
| Gave you a mortgage |
| Then took your house keys |
| And somehow, you keep saying, «Thank you, sir» |
| If you’re angry, well, I’m angry, too |
| And I talk to myself like I know you do |
| And I’ve been hiding in my laptop, too |
| But in my mirror, I see you |
| In my mirror, I see a movement |
| Let’s move |
| But talkin' shit about the «1%» |
| Well, that isn’t gonna get you anything |
| It’s another slogan — it’s been co-opted! |
| It’s just a clever bit of marketing |
| Who needs the tanks when we hand it over? |
| Who needs a beacon if you’re fine with fog? |
| Whatever this is, it isn’t working |
| It’s not an argument |
| It’s nothing |
| (It's not) |
| If you’re angry, well, I’m angry, too |
| And I talk to myself like I know you do |
| And I’ve been hiding in my laptop, too |
| But in my mirror, I see you |
| In my mirror, I see a movement |
| You gotta marvel at the magic trick |
| That makes us choose against our interests |
