Every day I got the blues - I don't want to say it
But when I see the news - I got to say
What the fuck what the fuck is going on
The economy is starting to crash
They say there?s a crisis of credit and cash
And the bankers and the brokers they take the money and run
But where do we go - Fools like me
I'm working hard - Trying to raise a family
They to say to invest - But it always goes down
And I'm left with nothing - But that sucking sound
It's the sound of the hole - where my money goes
And the billionaires if you think they care
Well then you believe in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny
And the checks in the mail
There?s something wrong here and I don't know what
But I got a feeling down deep in my gut
There?s one big Ponzi scheme all over the world
They?re giving us crumbs - Saying we should be proud
To be part of a system - That will always allow
You to succeed if you work very hard
But I don't believe it cause they?re holding all the cards
And who are they - I don't even know
Is that really your neighbor - On a reality show?
Well my reality looks nothing like that
And I'm not choosing sides - Not the left or the right
I'm so sick of politicians - And the way that they fight
They must think that we're stupid - Well maybe we are
But maybe we're good - Down deep in our souls
The way we take care of the sick and the old
I see the children in my children?s eyes
But I walk around scared and I don't know why
Scared to die before I live
Will I have something left to give?
To give my son a better world
While mother earth is still a girl
Damn my fear
Damn my pride
Damn my prejudice
Open my heart
Open my mind
Give me strength when it comes my time
I'm not religious I don't go to church
Except for my meetings But Jesus Christ
If he was here today I think he?d be mad as hell
What the fuck is going on
What the fuck is going on
What the fuck is going on
