The Bottom Line Lyrics

Artist: The GC5
Album: Horsehoes & Handgrenades

Coming out of the womb the world feels like a tomb
WeŠe heavily indebted
From the cradle to the grave, weŠe always slaves
Always tugging at credit
See the misery and the poverty
And how they exacerbate it
While weŠe breakin?our backs tryin?to pay back
Loans made to dictators
And I donŠ know why we sacrifice our children
But it follows from your premises
TheyŠe just dollars and cents, theyŠe just resources to expend
Somewhere thereŠ a bottom line more important than yours
The financial vultures have built a culture
That pits us against our brothers
And weŠl always bleed as long as greed
Can hide under freedomŠ cover
Their debt reliefŠ a source of constant grief
To those who bear itŠ burden
While the money flows North more than back and forth
From the coffers of free tradeŠ servants
Little girl born in a cemetary
All around her is dead and buried
Born into a world devoid of hope
Little girl born in a cemetary
Knowing nothing of the burden sheŠl carry
Your accounting owes her more than this
