A promise with a chain.
Already so long it can wrap itself around you.
But it lengthens with the days.
Adding links while you count pennies.
Growing in strength,
While you live in squalor.
A small price to pay,
for the American dollar.

They bury you.
Under stones so big, only the rich can move.
But you're broke so you can't improve.

Around you chains coil.
Until completely enveloped.
Now you know,
The whole systems corrupt.
Your spirit begins to decompose.

We helped you with money,
Now stop earning.
We helped you with education,
Now stop learning.
We helped you with salvation.
Now stop living.

We ruined your credit.
We scared away your employers.
You took our money.
We took your future.

Seems fair.
