| Everybody’s scared everybody’s nervous everybody feelin' uptight
|
| Nobody knows when the hammer’s comin' down
|
| Might be today tomorrow or tonight
|
| Everybody’s talkin' 'bout 1929
|
| 80 long years ago
|
| In the 70s we waited for gas on a line
|
| Man that seems like next to nothin' now you know
|
| Bought myself a house over in the valley
|
| Thought I had a money makin' machine
|
| Can’t sell the place now I’m in a dark alley
|
| Livin' the American dream
|
| You know that job I always said that I hated
|
| Well, yesterday they gave me the sack
|
| Lovin' your work is so damn overrated
|
| I sure wish to God I had that job back
|
| Check out the illegals standin' on the corner
|
| Watchin' all the cars go by
|
| Lord they used to look bored but now they’re lookin' hungry
|
| You can see the desperation in their eyes
|
| I guess you’re glad you got yourself a college education
|
| That oughta come in handy one day
|
| Why I just read about a guy robbed a fillin' station
|
| On account of college loans he had to pay (back)
|
| It’s pretty bad here but it’s really bad there
|
| And in Iceland there’s a riot goin 'on
|
| In L.A. they’re shuttin' down the DMV on Friday
|
| Now the weekend feels a little too long
|
| You got depression and recession
|
| Inflation and deflation
|
| Lord it messin' with my heart and soul and brains
|
| I’m sick of all the stimulation I need a long vacation
|
| I’ll take along a book by Maynard Keynes
|
| Grandma used to tell us how she lived through the depression
|
| And the best way out is always right through
|
| But she was mean and crazy just a nasty old lady
|
| Stay in bed that’s what I’m gonna do |
