The money's run out, the doors are about to shut
Our economic problems put employment in a rut
Lines will form to shelter those in need
We've fallen victim to the government's greed

Do you remember the years before
No recognition for the soldiers of the last war
1980 should have taught us a lesson
These are the days before wine and reccession

Automation took manpower away
Computers and video, they say is here to stay
And then the trend will change, we have no comprehension
These are the days before wine and reccession

The faucet shuts, we have to tighten our belts
Inflation's like creeping obesity, can you feel the old welts?
Then in a year or two the country comes to its feet
Take out those capitalist pigs, a reccession we can't repeat

Do you remember the years before
No recognition for the soldiers of the last war
1980 should have taught us a lesson
These are the days before wine and reccession
