"Fiscal Cliff" lyrics
"Fiscal Cliff"
Talkin' shit 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' shit 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

Little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
A fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh
And I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft

Removed from the red meat market
I look for a fire door
An escape from the drums and barking
Bereft of all social charms
Struck dumb by the hand of fear
I fall into the...

I can't confront you, and it's better that way
And how many bulbs must I break?

Titus Andronicus - "In A Big City" I grew up on one side of the river
I was a disturbed dangerous drifter
Moved over to the other side of the river
Now I'm a drop in a deluge of hipsters
Something a guy from the first side said
To die...
Into It. Over It. - "Anchor" Urban royalty on Sixth Street
Our clothes are finely pressed
My blue jeans won't miss me
But let's go change your shoes
Your feet must be killing you
And the car's not far
And everyone has something...
