lyrics

the economist said that they found a way out
they’re solving the problem just taking our money
the politician said that we have to stay calmed
he keeps talking shit but words won’t come out

president said that he’s going away
on a trip for holidays
soon we’ll see him waving goodbye in his fancy official car

ohh the journalist said
ohh the president said
but what about us citizens
while economy is breaking and it’s going insane

the congress men said that there’s a rope
that he can’t see but we can feel the choking
if there’s no solution and it’s hard to explain
tell me where do we stand today

the journalist wrote
some of his thoughts
dropped some bombs on the paper
reality it’s just not enough
he is proud to be a phony!
