"Trickle Down" lyrics

"Trickle Down"

Has anyone tried to explain trickle down economics to you in a bar?

I'm just waiting my whole life is waiting
I'm just waiting for pay but losing cents on inflation
Like a city on the brink of gestation
Aren't we supposed to be a some sort of first world nation

More money no gaffs emigrators
More lies no change see you later
Sick to death is the unanimous behaviour
I think I wanna give up, I wanna be Amy Taylor
But do you ever feel like?

It goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And it goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns

They're calling it free speech, it's free hate, racism disguised as nationalism
A home that's a tax haven, house crisis, humanity crisis
Don't even mention the midlife crisis
Oh and did I forget that we're destroying the environment and the fucking world is gonna end?

Sorry, I had to vent a little frustration
I mean have you seen the state of our government situation?
Did we all decide to succumb to americanisation?
I'm just gonna join the list of endless hospital patients?
Because, it really feels like

It goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And it goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on

On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on

No, I don't know economics
No, I don't know enough
But I've lived enough years in this city
To know you've really fucked it up
