Great Recession Returns

(Verse One)

Up at the top is where you sit
Consumerist values, you live on our supplies
You love seeing us suffer, we all know this
We call for assistance and you always ignore it

Pick all the lies you made for the poor
And invest it in things you know they look for
Advertise it to make them want more
Even though it's the people you deplore

(Pre-Chorus One)

Welcome to the hall of judgement
The greats arе bleeding from their portraits
You stand there likе a guard
But have you seen the calendar on the wall?
It's 2008
You know what that means?
It's the great comedown, the vast falloff
You're coming down with me!

(Chorus)

I'm taking you down with me
And everybody will see
I'm taking you down with me
And everybody will see

(Verse Two)

But, of course, just like all the time
You find a way to survive
And crawl back up the ladder
And laugh at us down under

Stuck in the country of degrade
Of the land you felt right to invade
It's my class you like to cascade
Until we've completely decayed

(Pre-Chorus Two)

How much longer will we stand?!
How come you always rise again?!
You're some destructive hydra
We're vindictive phoenixes emerging from ash
We've cried for help and you pretend
We are the trash on riverbeds
We've been grasping at straws that you snatch
A break is something that we can never catch

(Chorus)

I'm taking you down with me
And everybody will see
I'm taking you down with me
And everybody will see

(Verse Three)

Discrimination of everybody you fear
When you see us, you always steer clear
Always hoping that we never interfere
I bet you hope that we would all disappear

But, would you look at that! 0'8 is back!
Recession returns and your funds are off the track
Now it's time for you to lose what we lack
Life decides to give you a deserved rollback

(Pre-Chorus Three)

Now you know how we feel all the time
We are the people you would rather have die
Cut off all the services that were made to help us
Just so you can keep your supplies in check
We're all in need of desperate help
But if you keep pushing us down, don't be surprised if we fight back
We're all suffering right now
So why would you want to make it all worse?

(Chorus)

I'm taking you down with me
And everybody will see
I'm taking you down with me
And everybody will see
