The trouble is our economy

The problems seem to never go away

The problems of years gone by

The problems of yesterday

We are in the same boat

As we were before

But instead of a canoe we are struggling to shore

We up to our eyes indebt in this country

Begging and borrowing from other countries

We have more homeless people on the streets than before

We have borrowing and begging on our doors

No jobs no work the gravy train is dry

The rush of the economy would bring a tear to your eye

The rat race the competition the up the ladder 1,2,3

We want it all now

Cant wait you see

No one can live with the banks taking money out every other day

People wondering if they can survive another day

Bills to pay mortgages due

Tax man is on our backs

Trying to survive the obvious mental cracks

Surplus spending out of control economists

Look on is all we can

We can be the pessimists

We see the talks that go on in the news every day

But talking wont resolve the issues or make them go away

We are been asked to sign a treaty

To give ourselves to them

Or no more bail out funds

No more friendly handshakes or loans

So give in and surrender

Do what’s right for your country

Not have your own opinion

Not give in to the pressure that’s been pushed on you

We refused it the first time

This time there is no return

Some say the nerve of us to borrow

And give nothing in return

We have giving all

That there is left to give

Apart taking out our blood and bones

And putting it through a sieve

Like the bonds and market holders have done

The money is gone there’s no return

People been put in jail for staggering home

Walking along like a snail

When others have caused such immense damage to our economy

Nothings been done to reassure the likes of you and me

We hang our heads in hope

That the tides will turn once more

And bring our families back to our beautiful Irish shores
