Lyrics
It was meant to work
To protect us
Spoils trickle down
From the top
If the government
Would just turn a blind eye
All of us could benefit
It's not all right
It's like counting backwards
It's not all right
Complaints are useless
That box is full
Like cracks in asphalt
We get run over
The dance of credit
And the lender
Will spike on through
Until we're all broken, too
It's not all right
It's like counting backwards
It's not all right
Get better at math
Because numbers don't lie
Nothing's cheap or
Quick and easy
When you're counting stacks
Of broken promises
There's less than nothing
For you to cash in
It's not all right
It's like counting backwards
It's not all right
