lyrics

The debt to all my creditors
A credit to all my doubters
You’ll never see a dime from me
Without raising the minimum wage
I live now for insurance payouts
The coming revolution
And wealth redistribution
Sitting there with a lemonade
Hand me a light and last cigarette
As the ice twirls down the glass
We are the worse off
The ladder got pulled up
Our futures were sold off
By the higher ups

The proliferation of domestic terrorists
The rapid rise of hillbilly racists
Crusading racist Christian hypocrites
Ethics-less manipulation of every faucet of existence
So now we must bare witness
To the total failure of every sacred institution
They’re run for profit by psychos voted in by our parents
With no repercussions they have nothing to fear
We are the worse off
The ladder got pulled up
Our futures were sold off
By the higher ups

Graduated into a recession
With a deliberately whitewashed education
Locked into a manic depression
An opioid crisis
Rising house prices
After each marker crash
After each bubble splash
We get distracted
By money, by power, by hate
In a lot of ways it’s too late
Still given a badge after a failed psych exam
Seeing the top hat man with the black eyed kids
Bred complacent and told we’re on our way
The lack of movement still surprises me every day
We are the worse off
The ladder got pulled up
Our futures were sold off
By the higher ups
