A country torn to shreds by consolidated debt As we watch another store close down We can't live for four without paying the bank more For the loans that they will not allow Today I heard a mother crying "I cannot live with this" So be strong, keep your head up fighting 'Cause this is all there is He's sitting on a bench with his hands over his face As his daughter moves closer to him Six months without a job, now the benefits are gone And the anti-depressants that help him live Hey god I've got a message for ya I don't think you exist It's not just the facts that are stacked against ya That tell it like it is If "everything happens for a reason" Why are murderers still here? Children, mothers, dying, broke Can you make that disappear?
