lyrics
What happened to my green back dollar,
It used to mean something to me.
Now I'm lost in all my debt,
and I cannot pay the rent,
no my green back means nothing to me.
Say you're looking to buy yourself a home,
but you don't have the money it takes.
So you take a hefty loan,
so our green reserve will grow,
but you'll thank me when your tired back does break.
Oh were heading for the same black hole,
where our money comes from nothing
and nobody owns a home.
But we're smiling 'cause it's all we know,
and we're comfortable and fed,
and we're sleeping in our beds.
I'm already locked into the game,
though I don't know when it all began.
Will I ever make it out, do I know what it's about,
I don't even know who I should blame.
Take my money, and give me nothing back,
I can't afford to keep another dime.
I don't want to play the game,
no it's not too late to change,
I just want my old green back.
Oh were heading for the same black hole,
where our money comes from nothing
and nobody owns a home.
But we're smiling 'cause it's all we know,
and we're comfortable and fed,
and we're sleeping in our beds.
