Frailty (The Way of Rome)
Weakened states, weakened nation
Banks on the verge of collapse
Governments tinker with economies of scale
While individuals fall through the cracks
Lies borne out of selfishness and gluttony
Inflated bubbles on the backs of you and me
Easy money to fulfill your American Dream
Now the debt that defines our children's reality
Mass delusion yesterday
Mass hysteria today
No credit, only blame
No responsibility, only shame
Robbing Peter to pay Paul to save our homes
As the American Empire goes the way of Rome
Obama, Obama, save us, save us
Save us from our harsh reality
We're obviously incapable of a life without debt
So please go and print some more money
Hyperinflation, devaluation
Revolution crouches on the horizon
Unemployment adding timber to the blaze
Lady Liberty is shaking from her daze
America is a house of cards, frail and weak at the seams
Time to stand up and fight, bring the establishment to it's knees
Banks on the verge of collapse
Governments tinker with economies of scale
While individuals fall through the cracks
Lies borne out of selfishness and gluttony
Inflated bubbles on the backs of you and me
Easy money to fulfill your American Dream
Now the debt that defines our children's reality
Mass delusion yesterday
Mass hysteria today
No credit, only blame
No responsibility, only shame
Robbing Peter to pay Paul to save our homes
As the American Empire goes the way of Rome
Obama, Obama, save us, save us
Save us from our harsh reality
We're obviously incapable of a life without debt
So please go and print some more money
Hyperinflation, devaluation
Revolution crouches on the horizon
Unemployment adding timber to the blaze
Lady Liberty is shaking from her daze
America is a house of cards, frail and weak at the seams
Time to stand up and fight, bring the establishment to it's knees
