Another recession, do they ever really go away?
In some form or another they're here to stay
Homelessness and unemployment fester in the slums
While mansions are just miles away - what have we become?

With the many destitute you show no solidarity
Just keep your fingers crossed and say "thank God it wasn't me"
Like blind sheep we ignore the threat of recession
Like dominoes we tumble into the pit of depression

We're a nation ravaged by the greedy
Who don't give a fuck about the needy
I wonder why there's more of them these days
Victims of our capitalistic ways

With the many destitute you show no solidarity
Just keep your fingers crossed and say "thank God it wasn't me"
Like blind sheep we ignore the threat of recession
Like dominoes we tumble into the pit of depression

Your drooling jowls snap up the scraps they throw you
Just part of a cycle caused by big business
In pursuit of higher profits at your expense
Then they wonder why
Nobody has any money to buy their goods and services
More jobs lost to sluggish sales
Heading for the slippery downward spiral of depression

Bosses line their pockets while the workers are let go
Corporate downsizing to increase the cash flow
Lull yourself into thinking it can't happen to you
One day the axe is gonna fall, then what will you do?

With the many destitute you show no solidarity
Just keep your fingers crossed and say "thank God it wasn't me"
Like blind sheep we ignore the threat of recession
Like dominoes we tumble into the pit of depression
