Echo! the Economy

Echo! The Economy

What's that I hear? Silence from the empty pockets of beggars

Echo! The Economy

What's that I see? a fortune to be made to be sold

Echo! The Economy

What's that I smell? ... The soles of rotting desperation from walking zombies in 9 to 5 attire

Echo! The Economy

Pandering for cash it's all a mad gamble 
My poker face is shown by lack of humility
These time are hard, but so is the pavement of these streets


Echo! The Economy
And make the hopes of tears soar
The chiming of Wallstreet calls 
Balance our self-hate, we don't even love money or we would keep it near and dear
