Receiving letters about persistent debt

Coming from banks sounds rediculous

They encorouge us all to borrow

Drop us in it right up to our necks

It wasn’t long ago they ran up trillions

And us taxpayers had to pay it back

And as we did they restored their bonuses

Truth is they could not careless

Now ask them now you’re in debt

If they would do the same for you

All they will do is call you crazy

All they’ll do is lie to you

Because the system is set up to exploit you

That’s why so many are screwed

Facing a life of persistently bring broke

Don’t look to governments or banks for hope

They say it was all your own doing

All brought about by bad choices

Never mind when you were going under

All you heard was the background voices

Saying you can borrow your way out of it

Payday loans and high interest

Just digs a deeper hole for you

It doesn’t matter how you play the system

You will in the end always lose

It doesn’t matter about what they do

Inequality resonates for me and you

Austerity for those paid the minimum wage

Champagne wages for the top dogs who fail

This is what’s wrong with society

The wealth is distributed only one way

It goes to those up the top

Whereas those at the bottom only ever feel the pain.
