Recession Blues
(Ali Marcus)
I’d like my money back, this train’s running off the track
This can’t be what life is all about
This life is the one I choose and Lord knows I have paid my dues
But the market’s losing steam so I’m cashing out
I’d like my money back for the suitcase that I’m gonna pack
For the wheels that I have felt begun to spin
I’ll never win the lottery but a gamble sounds so good to me
My number has been called so I’m cashing in
It’s a long long time before you know where to begin
My number has been called and I’m cashing in
I’d like my money back soon, piling up in every room
Room enough for one last parting word
Stand right by that door and wait ‘till I’ve got no more left to hate
Silence is the worst thing you ever heard
It’s a long long time before you know what has occurred
And that’s just about the worst thing you ever heard
It’s the wrong wrong time like a mismatched poet’s rhyme, it brings you down
It was the wrong wrong line to say that everything is fine when it’s crashing down
It’s crashing down it’s crashing down
I’d like my money back please, satisfaction guaranteed
Guaranteed to bring this heavy load
I’ve carried all a girl can take, a scary load when love’s at stake
So I’ve traded everything for the open road
It was a long long time before my disappointment showed
So I’ve traded everything for the open road.
