The Comin' Round Is Going Through

You got a way of running your mouth You rant and rave, you left it all out The thing about it is, little that you say is true Why bother checkin', the facts'll be damned It's how you spin it, it's part of the plan I'm here to tell you that your sicken loan is coming due 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 The 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 The comin' round is going through The comin' round is going through 'Cause when the money's makin' money, it comes down to a few 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, 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' 'til they get a shot Your money's no good there, we wouldn't cash you a check if we could
