lyrics

The man at the bank said "Let's not talk percentages
You work a fourteen hour day and still have two mortgages
You asked the state for aid and they gave you an ad campaign that didn't help."

So you took your family and joined in the urban sprawl
Now you can't see the stars as well but you're near the mall
You don't know where you stand no more
In line at some convenient store that is way too long

You used to work your land, fed thousands of mouths
Now you eat their shit for the money
Now you emptied your heart to fill your bank account

Well I should talk
I'm just the same
You can buy my records down at the corporate chain
I tell myself I shouldn't be ashamed but I am

Adolescence made her an activist
Now she is the one who does all the lecturing
"Those assholes got their eighteen holes!
You should have told them to dig one more! Your dream is dead!"

She won't eat their food or wear their clothes
She always wants to know where her money goes,
but will shell it out for filling up her nose

So run it up. I'll run my mouth,
but never mind the shit that I sing about
because I'd sell myself to buy a fucking house

Twelve thousand square foot, four car garage
Tennis court and swimming pool in the back yard
I know it can seem like a lot but that is why I pay someone to clean it up
We're gonna clean it up. My big house
