The Rich Get Richer

[Verse 1] Boss bought a third vacation home Said “times are hard We’re cutting staff” You packed your desk in cardboard silence He signed the papers Tried not to laugh Rent due Card maxed Fridge near empty Scrolling sales on a cracked-up phone They sell us “hustle” like religion While their kids start rich Skip every stone [Chorus] How the rich get richer While we all get poorer They raise the rent Then raise their glass Say “tighten up” from the top floor How the rich get richer While we all get smaller We count coins They count our hours And still ask what we’re angry for [Verse 2] They call it “market correction” You call it three jobs Aching feet They hide their cash in quiet islands You hide your tears on the back row seat Every headline blames your coffee Never their bonus Never their war They turn our worry into interest Charge us twice just to walk through the door [Chorus] [Bridge] Same old story Different logos New blue suit Same hungry eyes They say “anyone can make it” Then lock the gates Then sell the skies But there are more of us than oceans More of us than marble floors Once we see the game they’re playing We’re not playing anymore [Chorus]
