You got a way of running your mouth You rant and you rave, you left it all out The thing about it, little that you say is true Why bother checkin', the facts will be damned It's how you spin it, it's part of the plan Well I'm here to tell you honey that Your sicken loan is coming due Only so long you can keep this charade Until they wake up and see they've been played Too many people with their livin' at stake Ain't gonna take it Comin' round is going through Comin' round is going through You say it's workin', it's tricklin' down Yeah, there's a trick, 'cause the jobs ain't around From where you're sittin' tell me how you think you possibly know? The way it feels to get turned away Never enough, it's day after day Yank that by your bootstraps 'Cause that's the way it really goes Only so long you can keep this charade Before they wake up and see they've been played Too many people with their livin' at stake Ain't gonna take it
Comin' round is going through The comin' round is going through 'Cause when the moneys makin' money, it comes down to a few They got their hands on the throttle and nobody gets through You can work all your life for a hand that will play With one role of the dice it gets swept away Just look around, things are startin' to slip You're outta control and you're losin' your grip No way to stop it, cause that river's spillin' over for good We don't have the answer, we know what it's not 'Cause the people will keep pushin' until they all get a shot Your money's no good here, we wouldn't cash you a check if we could Only so long you can keep this charade Before they wake up and see they've been played Too many people with their livin' at stake Ain't gonna take it The comin' round is going through Comin' round is going through Comin' round is going through Comin' round is going through Quit that, baby! Is going through Is going through
