lyrics

The first to fail is second
So I dove the rail and wrecked it
And now I’m on this cement floor
Layin’ in a stairwell
With my feet up in the air
I can’t get no elevation

I’m so down and broken
I get the feeling that no one cares
And they pass by – They don’t ask why
Try not to go head first down the stairs

To do it is fantastic
To wait for it is tragic
Money’s everything I thought it could be
But, now I’m foraging for Chicklets
And rusty bobby pins
I’ve got to get myself together

CHORUS

Two peppermint knees And femurs made of leaves
I need to weeble to the meeting at three
I’m takin’ every step Except the governmental representative
Has got a thing for me
I made it to the meeting, But the cheating at the greedy feeding
Put a new perspective on the way that I see
The top three percent of America’s wealthiest Individuals
and how they manipulate the financial system

CHORUS
