nathan asher and the infantry - the deficit lyrics

Loading...

[verse one]
i’m an individual, i work for a corporation
i drive a station wagon, take two-week vacations
make inns meet and meet with my friends on the weekends
talk about our kids, split up at eleven

but my new friends don’t know me like you did, old friend

i write without a tension to mention the past
remember that winter when we skipped cl-ss
drove past the overp-ss fast falling snow in december, oooh

it covered the city, it covered the country
and we didn’t talk about time or money

[chorus]
now the deficit is growing
it’s the d-mned economy
i’m hoping the market will make up its mind
strain is showing

it’s the d-mned economy
my time and my money
i cannot tell you just how hard i’ve tried

the d-mned economy
it’s just like the lottery
and each year i only fall farther behind

[verse two]
well some things you forget, and others you cannot
i remember maria that summer at the bus stop
hot, hot weather beatin’ down on the bedrock
i wonder if you got her, ’twas all fair game

it’s amazing though, admit, how fast things can change you

make one mistake, they pull you for speeding
we’d sneak out on weeknights to meet in the evenings
could’ve been different, it ended unfairly, oooh
if the cops hadn’t pulled me that day out in cary
i could’ve caught up, we could’ve got married

[chorus]
now the deficit is growing
it’s the d-mned economy
i’m hoping the market will make up its mind
strain is showing

it’s the d-mned economy
my time and my money
i cannot tell you just how hard i’ve tried

the d-mned economy
it’s just like the lottery
and each year i only fall farther behind

it’s the d-mned economy
changes everybody
i cannot tell you how hard i’ve tried

the d-mned economy
my mind and my body
and each year i only fall farther and farther behind

[verse three]
well i’m an individual, i work for a corporation
i drive a station wagon, take two-week vacations
the schools that we went to, the rankings were different
the rankings were different, was it that important?

my new friends don’t know me like you did, old friend

[chorus]
it’s the d-mned economy
changes everybody
i cannot tell you how hard

it’s the d-mned economy
my mind and my body
and each year i only fall farther and farther…
