how can i ever believe this is a crisis when you know the answers because you were the cause of this the only crisis that i see was 1933 when you declared bankruptcy now the rats in my hallway are only eating every other day and quitting time is always on my mind i d burn the check if it would keep me warm it s not worth a thing until it s backed in gold like the jewellery we sold to pay our credit cards we all deserve to sweat a little less for all the things we drag ourselves to our jobs for but i find myself sweating more my folks were lying to me it turns out money grows on trees how could it be so easy to start production at the mint swing the axe hit print and watch it all come tumbling down you ve got bats in your belfry if you think i m believing what you re telling me and losing time is always on my mind i m losing my mind at the same time it s not worth a thing until it s backed in gold like the jewellery we sold to pay our credit cards we all deserve to sweat a little less for all the things we drag ourselves to our jobs for but i find myself sweating more if only i could shade myself but those trees don t grow in my backyard
