Dollar's Demise

Lyrics
Like the poor man scorned by cash that ain't worth sand [Instrumental Break] [Verse] They print it all, it's just a game Where every bill is wildfire, burning me The banks they swim in digits; the people Struggle, can't afford a loaf of bread or peace [Verse] It's this never-ending cycle And in my wallet, a ghost town stands Credit stretched like desert lands Values tumble, prices soar Dreams just ain't what they were before [Chorus] In the eye of this storm, the rich secure their reign While the poor man's dollar drowns in the pouring rain [Verse] Margins sky, and hope seems thin Living check to check, the grind wears thin They say money talks, but mine just sighs With every surge, a part of dreaming dies [Pre-Chorus] Yet the wheel keeps spinning 'round, out of control A heavy toll, on the soul Silver screens and copper lies Painted truths that fade and die The cost of living climbing high In empty pockets, spirits tie [Chorus] And the value of our work just slips away As the central bank just prints another day [Bridge] The screens shout growth, yet the shelves stay bare While the market kings, on their thrones, uncaring they stare Electrons dance, in vaults, they flow But in the streets, the hungry winds do blow [Verse] The ledger's blood, it's a red cascade Numbers rise, but the debts, they're never paid[,] Just pennies now, where dollars used to rain Irony in abundance, yet the cupboards remain Progress claims a future, bright as the screen Yet the wallet's tell a story, where ends rarely meet [Pre-Chorus] As the digits soar, humanity bleeds A rich man's game with the poor man's needs Silver spoons are fed, with gold-laden forks But our tables lie barren, our wealth they've divorced [Verse] Computer trades at lightning speed While in their wake, they sow the seeds Of tiny crashes, day by day Our saving’s worth just fades away
