The Great Depression - As It Is

Hello consumer

I know you’re there

So let me sing you this new dose of lies we’ve carefully prepared

Hello consumer

Just close your eyes

And listen close enough and this song might just save your fucking life

We live in The Great Depression

This is how we sell our lies

I’m the poet and the problem

I’m the blade and I’m the stitch

We tell you it’s okay to die to stop you giving in

I’m the poet and the problem

I’m the sickness and the cure

We tell you what you wanna hear cause we’re so insecure

You think you know me

When I feel down

Another song’s another reason I’ll just leave you here to drown

Call me dishonest

Call me a fraud

But you’ve been saying that for years and that’s what got us where we are

We live in The Great Depression

This is how we sell our lies

I’m the poet and the problem

I’m the blade and I’m the stitch

We tell you it’s okay to die to stop you giving in

I’m the poet and the problem

I’m the sickness and the cure

We tell you what you wanna hear cause we’re so insecure

(We're so insecure)
