The Comin' Round Is Going Through - Bonnie Raitt

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
