Wake up early each day
Trying to catch the worms
That we don't need anyway
Oh it's a shame
It should go without saying
That throwing stones at birds
Is just how they keep us wrapped in the game
Been playing so long
We don't even realize the lies
Just got our eyes on the prize
It's a game you can't win
You just keep playing
Again and again and again and again and again
Chasing dollars for fun
Maybe you can get one
Take your dollar
What you gonna do
Head on down to the store
And spend more than you can afford
On something shiny and new
Give me some credit
It's just debt
How could we let it
Get this far
Why don't we get it
It's time we realize
It's all a farce
Wake up early each day
Trying to catch the worms
That we don't need anyway
Oh it's a shame
It should go without saying
That throwing stones at birds
Is just how they keep us wrapped in the game
Been playing so long
We don't even realize the lies
Just got our eyes on the prize
It's a game you can't win
You just keep playing
Again and again and again and again and again
Like a horse and a carrot
That it can't get
We grin and bear it
Like it's who we are
A badge we're wearing
But it's just debt
It's all a farce
