[Verse] Nine long years in the northland Spending high just like the band Debt climbed up ain't no joke Promises blew away like smoke [Verse 2] Talked about balance talked so sweet Empty words kept us on our feet Mountains of debt rising tall It's a wonder we ain't yet fall [Chorus] Oh the budget will balance itself Can't count the numbers on the shelf Trillions spent but who's to know Where does all our money go [Verse 3] Grand ideas flowed like wine Saying everything would be just fine But the ledger tells a different tale Boat's sinking without a sail [Verse 4] Tax and spend like there's no end Borrowing more we can't defend Promises like bubbles burst Who knew debt would be the worst [Chorus] Oh the budget will balance itself Can't count the numbers on the shelf Trillions spent but who's to know Where does all our money go
