Human capital, herded cattle Walking dollar signs in shackles You’re a pawn in a rich man’s hand Just another cog in the master plan Your only crime is being alive Crushing debt is your punishment There’s no end for the condemned You’re sentenced, sentenced to debt The American dream, prosperity You can be anything you want to be As long as it’s in abject poverty Drowning in interest and overdraft fees Back in line, do your time You’re sentenced to debt Kneel and grit, brace for the whip You’re sentenced to debt
