I've got more bills than I can pay
I barely make what I can live on
My rent is late and these "past due fees" are mounting...

Everyone I know is in trouble-
We don't live this "American Dream"
Hey, United States, America-
Save us from poverty...

Blame it on Wall Street-
Yeah, they wrecked our lives
Or blame the politicians if you choose...

Blame it on the mortgage crisis
Blame it on some new tax hike
You can blame it on the world but what's the use?

'Cause I've got more bills than I can pay
I barely make what I can live on
My rent is late and these "past due fees" are mounting...

Everyone I know is in trouble-
We don't live this "American Dream"
Hey, United States, America-
Save us from poverty...

From Bernie Madoff's tax evasion
To all you in unemployment lines
They say the jobs are in Central Asia-
Working assembly lines...

I've got more bills than I can pay
I barely make what I can live on
I wonder if you'll miss me when I'm gone...

*Yeah! *

Yeah, we've got to push these politics aside
We just want it fixed,
We don't care where the fault lies

Blame it on no loans for college
Blame it on some new tax hike
Blame it on the mortgage crisis
Blame it on the left or right

Hey-United States, America

Save us from poverty
