fiscal cliff - kevin devine lyrics

talkin’ sh-t about a “fiscal cliff”
a lot of effort at imagining
a situation, even a crisis
just a distraction from the main event:
they gave you credit
then cut your card up
gave you a student loan but there’s no work
gave you a mortgage
then took your house keys
and somehow, you keep saying, “thank you, sir”
if you’re angry, well, i’m angry, too
and i talk to myself like i know you do
and i’ve been hiding in my laptop, too
but in my mirror, i see you
in my mirror, i see a movement
let’s move
but talkin’ sh-t about the “1%”
well, that isn’t gonna get you anything
it’s another slogan – it’s been co-opted!
it’s just a clever bit of marketing
who needs the tanks when we hand it over?
who needs a beacon if you’re fine with fog?
whatever this is, it isn’t working
it’s not an argument
it’s nothing
(it’s not)
if you’re angry, well, i’m angry, too
and i talk to myself like i know you do
and i’ve been hiding in my laptop, too
but in my mirror, i see you
in my mirror, i see a movement
you gotta marvel at the magic trick
that makes us choose against our interests
