lyrics

ECON 101
The neighborhood is watching for a loaded gun
Meanwhile, upon the hill
A decision is made
Laws written to kill

There's no insurance,
no jobs to make it at all
Pay check to paycheck
Counting the days
Scratching them in the wall
With a knife, with a fight
even if it's not right
Life made me a criminal
The crime is being alive

Run and gun
You've got to run and gun
Til the day is done
It's economic
Run and gun
Got to run and gun
til you're job is done
It's so psychotic
Love your work
It's overrated
Run and gun
Got to run and gun
Til you're all done
It's so psychotic

Suck it up with your college degrees
Paying the future off
Plus taxes and fees
Burn it up
Do the data entry
Get your 401K
No retirement at sixty-
Five days a week
at the dog and pony show
Down to one last nerve
That's already been sold
for the weekend warriors
Digging for gold
Since they came back from the war
to a country with nothing to show

Got to stay alive
for the system is crazy
as a motherfucker
We're in the dirt
before we're in the dirt
Got to stay alive

This time the enemy
is wrapped in a goddamn flag
Handing out crosses
Shoving heads into big black bags
Change the channel
the news has nothing to show
Change the channel
before your RFID chip explodes

"We're gonna bomb your babies!"
