Economic giants cast their shadows over streets of broken dreams
Opulence and desperation in a world of extremes
The cost of living rises as wages stagnate and fall
In this cruel economic tango who will answer the call?
Bankruptcies and foreclosures mark the path of shattered lives
While the suits on Wall Street thrive amidst the lies
Families torn asunder by debts they cannot shake
In this game of chance and power who's left to break or take?
Economic chains that bind us debts we cannot pay
In the game of wealth and power who's left to bear the fray?
Broken dreams and shattered hopes in the cold and ruthless game
In the name of progress who will take the blame?
Factories stand abandoned like monuments to lost trust
In a world where profit margins leave compassion in the dust
Unemployment lines grow longer as industries fade away
In this cycle of boom and bust who's left to kneel and pray?
The divide between the haves and have-nots widens day by day
As the elite play with fortunes while the rest just pay and pay
Taxes and inflation squeeze the working class so tight
In this economic battlefield who will win the fight?
Economic chains that bind us debts we cannot pay
In the game of wealth and power who's left to bear the fray?
Broken dreams and shattered hopes in the cold and ruthless game
In the name of progress who will take the blame?
Leaders talk of progress while the masses pay the toll
In the shadow of abundance lies a hunger for the soul
Stocks rise and markets fall but for those on the edge
It's a constant uphill battle with no mercy no hedge
Economic chains that bind us debts we cannot pay
In the game of wealth and power who's left to bear the fray?
Broken dreams and shattered hopes in the cold and ruthless game
In the name of progress who will take the blame?
