When it started hard to say
Couple hundred yesterdays
Simple system growing cracks
Auto business, off the tracks
Getting mine means getting gone
Whites flight from the red line zone
Money tighter, feel the strain
Pull the plug, choke the drain
Safety net becomes swiss cheese
poor is spreading like disease
Trickle down aint spreading shit
No more flow from the faucet
Do you want a drink today
Or would you prefer to stay?
Pauper’s prison, in your home
Only choice is move along
In the country, people know
How to build a fire, slow
Let the wood get nice and dry
Kindling on the underside
Stack it up, support the beams
Maybe squirt some gasoline
But if flame’s what you desire-
It takes a Flint to start a fire
