The stores are closed
our homes for sale
we sink into the mire
The credit cards
are all maxed out
our situation dire
Our college grads
so much in debt
and many have no jobs
Our very best
who once stood proud
now work with cleaning swabs
Awake oh Giant
come to life
let's stop the madness now
We have to find
a better way
and bring us back somehow
