Lyrics and translation
Original
Has anyone ever 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 some kind of first-world nation?
More money, no gas, emigrators
More lies, no change, see you later
Sick to death of this unanimous behaviour
Think I wanna give up, I wanna be Amy Taylor
Do you 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
Well, it goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
The cry of free speech, it's free hate
Racism disguised as nationalism
A whole 'nother tax haven
House crisis, money crisis
Don't mention the midlife crisis
Or you go and destroy the environment
The fucking world and me
Sorry, I had to vent a little frustration
I mean, have you seen the scale of our government situation?
Did we all decide to succumb to Americanisation?
Think 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
Well, 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
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
