The Bottom Line
(album: Kisses From Hanoi)
Coming out of the womb the world feels like a tomb
We´re heavily indebted
From the cradle to the grave, we´re always slaves
Always tugging at credit
See the misery and the poverty
And how they exacerbate it
While we´re breakin´ our backs tryin´ to pay back
Loans made to dictators
And I don´t know why we sacrifice our children
But it follows from your premises
They´re just dollars and cents, they´re just resources to expend
Somewhere there´s a bottom line more important than yours
The financial vultures have built a culture
That pits us against our brothers
And we´ll always bleed as long as greed
Can hide under freedom´s cover
Their debt relief´s a source of constant grief
To those who bear it´s burden
While the money flows North more than back and forth
From the coffers of free trade´s servants
Little girl born in a cemetary
All around her is dead and buried
Born into a world devoid of hope
Little girl born in a cemetary
Knowing nothing of the burden she´ll carry
Your accounting owes her more than this
