the economy is suffering, let it die

Singer:anti-flag

i've seen a lot of rip-offs in my life. seen a lot of scams. a lot of crooks and crooked schemes

crooked sharks. part one of the story reads. the liquor store thief. the stick up man. thrown into the clink

never coming back until the day he's grey and old. i seen a lot of rip-offs in my life. the rip-offs of the old and the young

the weak

the sick

the never known. stabbed repeatedly in the back by the wall street suit. the washington hack. lining up their pockets with the people's cash and. laughing all the way to the bank. do you want to live your life as a slave?

in chains from the cradle to the grave. the economy is suffering

let it die. i seen a lot of bailouts in my life. but where are the bailouts for the homeless and the poor?

and while we're on the subject

i could use a few bucks for a guitar amp. a new six string

and a tank of gas. everything that i want. we're so fucked and we don't give a fuck

no. we're so fucked

but no we just don't care

no. we're so fucked

this world is shit out of luck

and we don't give a fuck. when the cities burn down we'll all be warm. when the cities burn down we'll all keep warm. when the cities burn down we'll all be warm.
