This Economy
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

They fly in, and they fly out
In their choppers and their jets
Cruise the scene in limousines
There ain't no place, 
that they ain't been

They have elephants for pets
Rooms with bars, are always wet
Not one star that they ain't met
and they never lost a bet

oooooooohhh   oooooooohhh

But look at me, yeah look at me
There ain't nothing here to see
All you have is plain ol' me
Someone who will never be

[chorus]
This economy
Does it ever work for me
This economy
Does it ever work for me
Food, shelter, and some wine
A little care 
From time to time
Why can't it do that for me
Why can't it do that for me

[instrumental]

They wanna live forever
They are building never-never
They will leave us all behind
Never mind, oh never mind
The system ain't for us
We are here to keep things clean
We belong back o' the bus
Never heard and never seen

oooooooohhh   oooooooohhh

But look at me, yeah look at me
There is a little here to see
Just a man who wants to be
Not too much, just time for tea

[chorus]
This economy
Does it ever work for me
This economy
Does it ever work for me
Food, shelter, and some wine
A little care 
From time to time
Why can't it do that for me
Why can't it do that for me

[instrumental]

They are out to settle scores
always fighting secret wars
They never hold a gun
Fools like me get all the fun
We die to guard their oil
Bodies left on foreign soils
We come back, we've been forgotten
Our reward is sweat an toil

oooooooohhh   oooooooohhh

But look at me, yeah look at me
What do I want to be
Be careful where you look
We're tired of playing by the book

[chorus]
This economy
Does it ever work for me
This economy
Does it ever work for me
Food, shelter, and some wine
A little care 
From time to time
Why can't it do that for me
Why can't it do that for me

[instrumental]

oooooooohhh   oooooooohhh

Why can't it do that for me
Why can't it do that for me

But look at me, yeah look at me
What do I want to be
Be careful where you look
We're tired of playing by the book

We're tired of playing by the book

We're tired of playing by the book
