The Taxpayers - The Lights

And the lights go on as
The belts grow tighter
It seems more difficult to
Walk through the fire
To walk through the fire on your own
You gotta hold it back
When you learn it early on
That you can have what you want if you
Take it away from someone from somebody else

Because you try to do the best that you can
But it gets taken away again
And again and again
It gets to be tougher to be
A person that you respect
Do you get desperate when you get alone?

And the lights go off and on and off and on

And the lights go off as
The wallets get bigger
It makes the few good folks
Left feel sicker and sicker
You gotta hold it back when time wears thin
Learn not to get that upset
About this sort of thing
And just hope that it all works out

But hope got trademarked
By elected politicians
And now it's so tough to
Hope without feeling deceptive

But I believe it's alright to
Believe it's gonna be alright
