lyrics

uh oh, there go my funds again, I'm all broke and blowing in the wind, but so is my friends. uh oh, there go my feet again, I hope they don't catch me when I'm tripping, I know I've been slipping.
uh oh, Their playing repeat again on how you defeat a man, define him by what he does but not what he can. When he wanna speak so loud but the words they fall on deaf ears and thin crowds, so he'll stay federally reserved following the paper trail until now. sink or swim. pass or fail. we're all in debt, we'll never collect enough of these dirty bills to compensate for all of the bounced checks. The fear in our eyes only reflects the constellations in the skies that have yet to connect. Inspect the system and expect nothing, then rip some bills up and realize our politics are just a front. they only consist of the power we give it, most of us only exist, we have a life and we never live it. and I seem to insist that my persistence will pay off, then dedicate my life to another system and then get laid off, I can see clearly now, I'm taking my shades off. Fuck this shit, I hate my job, I'm taking the day off- because This now is that now, and that now, there ain't a dollar you missed out, because this now is that now, and that now, there ain't a dollar in this town.
uh oh, there goes my funds, and my bankroll. There I go- tripping on my feet again, same track in the stereo playing on repeat again. The bad taste in your mouth when you get ripped off, trying to pop the cap until you realize that it's a twist off. Don't burn up all the gas, until your ready for lift off. Wars seem financially convenient, enemies tipped off. Yes, your drink was sipped off long before it got to you. All aboard the slave train, yes, there is a spot for you. Take a couple of shots, make a stop and eat some rotten food, pop a couple of these, smoke some leaves to affect your mood. Protect the Truth, because hard work don't pay off, gotta move past the stop signs, wasting time at day jobs. I can see clearly now, I've learn to stay lost on a track towards what I'm passionate about, not just what pays off.....
