We build up speed

We build up speed, we build up speed

What we want, we say we need

This is our nation's newest creed

That when we reach the highest billing

We simply raise the debt cieling

We know no need, we know no need

 Once a nation under God is now a nation built on frawd

Perhaps McCanndles had it right

Money fills a man with spite

We have no life, we have no life

We know no love, we know no loss

We only know money and sometimes the cost

We scream slow down, we scream slow down

Before sending our nation to the ground

Or we will lose what cannot be found

We have seen through others' eyes

How a nation thrives, then dies

Now we realize, now we realise

Let us know love

Let us know life

Let us break free from costs

Now that we know loss
