In a sluggish economy inflation, recession
Hits the land of the free
Standing on an employment line
Blame the government for hard times
We just get by, however we can
We all gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
Ten kids in a Cadillac
Standing in line for welfare checks
Let's all reach off the state
Gee the money's really great
We just get by, however we can
We all gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
Soup lines, free loaves of bread
Five pound blocks of cheese bags of groceries
Social security, has run out, on you and me
We do whatever we can
Gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
