[Skit] If Stocks are up, Jobs are up, GDP is high and crypto's right, Then why the hell is everything falling apart? [chorus] There's no homes to buy, There's no food to eat, It's all enough to cry, A system you can't beat. [verse] I remember when things kind of made sense, A world where the future was bright, Where you could be whoever you wanted to be, Where you could do whatever you wanted to do, But now there's nobody left to be, And now your rent is due. [pre-chorus] Well the economy's booming, So why are prices blooming, With all we're consuming, Why aren't we producing? It's just so irritating, The way the system's conflating, The things that we are taking, Are not the things we're making. [chorus] There's no homes to buy, There's no food to eat, It's all enough to cry, A system you can't beat. [verse] Shelter's not just shelter anymore, It's a portfolio investment that you can't afford. When everything's made in China, what do we produce? If it's a choice of Amazon, Walmart, or Temu, do you really choose? [verse] When's the last time you didn't have to think about your wallet? If this isn't a depression, then what do you call it? When's the last time you felt you had some sort of security? Was it the last time that your savings account had any currency? [pre-chorus] If the economy's booming, Then why are prices blooming, With all we're consuming, Why aren't we producing? It's just so irritating, The way the system's conflating, The things that we are taking, Are not the things we're making. [chorus] There's no homes to buy, There's no food to eat, It's all enough to cry, A system you can't beat. [bridge] When's the last time you saw "made in the USA"? For what reason do immigrants choose to stay? Why does everything have to be this way? Why don't we solve tomorrow's problems with the wisdom of yesterday? Don't we know there was a time when the future wasn't gray? We used to thank the lord for meals, but now for any meal we pray. There's no homes to buy, There's no food to eat. [verse] Globalism and the stock market control your life, They make a perfect team together, like a husband and wife, If there were just some way to overcome their strife, Then maybe the life you lived would finally be rife. [conclusion] If the economy's booming, But the prices are blooming, We should stop consuming, And start producing. It's just so irritating, The way the system's conflating, The things that we are taking, Are not the things we're making. [guitar solo] [chorus] There's no homes to buy, There's no food to eat, It's all enough to cry, A system you can't beat. [chorus] There's no homes to buy, There's no food to eat, It's all enough to cry, A system you can't beat. [chorus] There's no homes to buy, There's no food to eat, It's all enough to cry, A system you can't beat. [outro]
