the foundation shakes as the dominoes fall
the pocekts are emplty the shelters are full
and the prices keep rising in spite of it all
in a prison where no one is lookin
philosophies fly from both sides of the fence
the light at the end of the tunnel grows dim
all the pieces are braced for a war we cant win
where the problem out runs the solution
so you better save you better save your tears mommy don't you cry
beaucse where there's smoke there's fire and the waters running dry
while politicains funnek money with the wink of an eye
we're goin hungry in teh breadline tongiht
the entrepenuers claw their way to the top
the squatters all pan handle down on thier luck
everybody wants more and that's never enough
we forget what we've got to begin with
the bankers count coins under blankets of gols
consumers complain while they buy what their sold
and the titanic sails where the snake oil flows
and teh sharks circle under the surface
so you better save you better save your tears mommy don't you cry
beaucse where thEre's smoke there's fire and the wates running dry
while politicians guzzle 100 dollar bottles of wine
we're goin hungry in teh breadline tonight
i've see nhighways of people all filled up for miles
they're draggin their feet while they carry their lives
in an old world that's dying they try to survive
0n the scraps of what's left to believe in
so heres to tomorrow for better or worse
we all make the journey from cradle to hearse
and it breaks you and takes you for all that your worth
and the cycle jsut keeps on repeating
But you better save you better save your tears mommy don't you cry
beaucse where there's smoke there's fire and the wates running dry
while politicains make descicions that could cost you your life
we're goin hungry in the breadline tonight
