lyrics

in this house of glass
cracks have come with time
waiting for the crash
where'd your colors go?
pale and past your prime
crimson cuts in flow

and what do you do with your money?
i only ever see some of it
two quadrillion pennies lost in fountains wishing for more

now what? what am i supposed to do?
i'm not so opposed to you
but with idiots voting too
so what? play with the cards you're dealt
think of someone besides yourself
put your time into something else

keep your numbers right
don't slip off that bar
keep the end in sight
save up, stay in school
trade stock, buy cigars
maybe follow the rules

how could you buy into righteousness?
i made a buck in your idleness
five percent wouldn't get the sack if arms and legs fed the lions

help me, what am i supposed to do?
i'm not so opposed to you
but with idiots voting too
hurt me, what have i got to lose?
you're stuck with the life you choose
so bury away the blues

something feels wrong, but i'm not to blame
three hundred million strong, and we all feel the same
if you could just see why i'm correct
we wouldn't need dissension elect

and we're all numerical Americans
we're all numerical Americans
we're all numerical Americans
we're all numerical Americans
