lyrics
Watch this house of cards
Slam down and take your savings with it
Debt as our economy has thumbed its nose in our shocked faces
Politicians never tell the truth
Even when they’re caught on tape with their feet in their mouths
They stole our treasury
Naturally we’ll blame the unions, the greedy working stiff
It worked so beautifully/Doling out our wealth to your rich friends
Got away with everything/There’s nothing left to salvage what you rent
You have lied and lied
And now you’ll take the world down with you
In a flaming mess – you’ve done a heck of a job torturing everyone
You played your spying game
And weighed out cash to pay your buddies
Well it’s all ending now, pat yourself on the back boy, you know that you done good
You can’t see anything/Wrong with lying your country into war
You thought you were a king/But there’s nobody left to bow down anymore
Can we build it back
Everything we used to be
Regain our dignity
Dust ourselves off and move on with the world
It works so beautifully/Co-opting every mouth that reads the news
And we were floundering/Until somebody finally said it all with shoes
