Economic Ruin
music and lyrics by tabites

"We're optimistic about the longterm economic future
of the country but right now a lot of Americans
are facing uncertain times."
- President George Bush

"The fundamentals of our economy are strong
but these are very, very difficult times."
- Senator John McCain

"This can not be a welfare plan for
Wall Street executives."
- President-elect Barack Obama

"This is an extraordinary period for America's economy."
- President George Bush

We never know
exactly what we'll see
predicting what was
and what will be

pictures survive the past
telling forgotten wealth
what mattered then
doesn't matter now

economic ruin
financial dump
past to be proven
the rich will pay

economic ruin
fortunes in lies
the people proven
the rich do pay

"As a result our entire economy is in danger."
- President George Bush

woah, woah, woah

a mortgage meltdown
a bigger story
the bailout plan
doomed from conception

those fools in congress
didn't listen to us
played their favorites
into hell and beyond

economic ruin
financial dump
past to be proven
the rich will pay

economic ruin
fortunes in lies
the people proven
the rich do pay

woah, woah, woah

the rich do pay
someday
