Deficit (Our Generation) Songtext
We're all responsible? Who's this "we" you're talking about?
I'm not the one with the credit cards and the mortgage I can't pay back.
I'm not the bankrupt, the borrower and I'm not the greedy banker,
But I'm the one who's responsible, for getting your money back?
There's now no hope for our generation,
And now we'll rot at our work stations.
House prices are through the roof and jobs are paying shit,
Whilst you're spending billions on war and blowing each other to bits.
It's not the filthy rich who suffer and it's not the so-called poor,
It's people trying to earn a crust, it's not worth working for.
A national debt created, before I was even born,
Now I'm the one who's paying, for the generation gone.
Education fees are a joke, with no job at the end,
Retirement age again increased, at work our lives will end.
I'm not the one with the credit cards and the mortgage I can't pay back.
I'm not the bankrupt, the borrower and I'm not the greedy banker,
But I'm the one who's responsible, for getting your money back?
There's now no hope for our generation,
And now we'll rot at our work stations.
House prices are through the roof and jobs are paying shit,
Whilst you're spending billions on war and blowing each other to bits.
It's not the filthy rich who suffer and it's not the so-called poor,
It's people trying to earn a crust, it's not worth working for.
A national debt created, before I was even born,
Now I'm the one who's paying, for the generation gone.
Education fees are a joke, with no job at the end,
Retirement age again increased, at work our lives will end.
