I'll barely make
Any money this next year

Probably just a few grand
And I find it all quite queer

That college and post B.A.
Totaled about 120 grand

I will probably be living here
For another few years

There is no upward mobility now
America
A fat and bloaded
Debt ridden cow

I suppose some day
Maybe soon

Everyone will be singing a different tune
One EMP strike
From China

The systems will be down

Not much food
At the markets
And no one in town

This economic system
Is not viable anymore

George Soros' associates
Buying up gold galore

There is the super rich
And the poor

Board up those windows
Store water and food
The people are angry
And in a bad mood

The lies they have been told
The lies they have been sold

They work the day away
And get to barely keep anything
Anyway

Debt and more debt
They cannot pay

18 trillion dollars
Piled high

Piled up to the sky

The Fed will print and print
That's not a solution

One can't put out a fire
By pouring gas on a fire

It's not the same
Don't you see

It's a dim future
Here in America
For you and me

So look out for yourself
Is what you should do

Because in this society
The middle class
Is getting *******

I ate an avocado
Or two
Maybe a bit too much

Yes I am full
Adding popcorn
To that lunch

I sometimes expect
For food to do
Something more

To help make this life
Less than a total bore

But all it does is fill
The stomach again

It's just food
It just fills the stomach
Not the emptiness within

How many hours
Do I spend alone

How many hours
Sitting in this home?

It's just a program
I say

It spins around the sun
And I'm here another day

Hopefully my time will come
To start a career
Money- I do need some
