Do you feel your knee deep in the river of doubt Where the current is swift and the piranhas hang out If you don't know what I mean or what I'm talking about Hang on to your wallet cause your soon to find out This mean old world can be bitter at best It'll grind you up, spit you out, then use you to clean up the mess Believe we've been here before so don't expect any less How much more can we take is anyone's guess We have the lawyers, judges, politicians, with the jury still out Telling us they know what's best for us and like it or not we're going to find out Up to our necks now in that river of doubt Anymore from anyone of them and I think that we'll drown There is the group on the left and the group on the right Thinking the other sides wrong and their willing to fight One side brought guns and the other side knives Was that Miss Liberty I just saw waving bye, bye The sides are to steep on the riverbank we are in We all just might drown cause we haven't learned how to swim In the tank with the sharks, also known as the politicians No one to lend us a hand with nothing more there to lend That's the way it now is from beginning to end Where we're soon to break cause we no longer can bend Let's just throw them all out and start all over again Before it's to late my friends and we do ourselves in

Hang On To Your Wallet (Miss Liberty's waving bye,bye)
Do you feel your knee deep in the river of doubt Where the current is swift and the piranhas hang out If you don't know what I mean or what I'm talking about Hang on to your wallet cause your soon to find out This mean old world can be bitter at best It'll grind you up, spit you out, then use you to clean up the mess Believe we've been here before so don't expect any less How much more can we take is anyone's guess We have the lawyers, judges, politicians, with the jury still out Telling us they know what's best for us and like it or not we're going to find out Up to our necks now in that river of doubt Anymore from anyone of them and I think that we'll drown There is the group on the left and the group on the right Thinking the other sides wrong and their willing to fight One side brought guns and the other side knives Was that Miss Liberty I just saw waving bye, bye The sides are to steep on the riverbank we are in We all just might drown cause we haven't learned how to swim In the tank with the sharks, also known as the politicians No one to lend us a hand with nothing more there to lend That's the way it now is from beginning to end Where we're soon to break cause we no longer can bend Let's just throw them all out and start all over again Before it's to late my friends and we do ourselves in
