I don’t understand this recession
That’s causing national citizen depression
Though I do understand the reiterated impression
That money is a depleted possession
Where did the money that was there
go?
Did it get put away in somebody’s drawer?
Did it disintegrate into some ashy lore?
We all understand there used to be more
Flowing like endless lava shore
Feeling like forever more
But where did the more go?
Do you know?
Is it that I don’t understand the economics man?
Filling my head with a ton of sand?
Telling me we are all connected hand in hand
One captain falls we all fall
Steadily downward while we try to stand tall
Together we can stop this rolling ball
Working harder in the working halls
But where did all that money that used to be
Go
Did it sink to the bottom of the sea?
Or roll to some other place?
Forcing us to live without our previous grace
Like a you’re naughty naughty
Slap in the face
I see transition everywhere
People trying to hold on strong
Looking forward carrying on
Through another economic storm
Live with less is now the norm
But where did all that excess money go?
In safes buried in the floor?
Forever more?
