Story behind the song
One guy works his butt off and barely gets by, another does his job and makes a fortune screwing people out of their homes. Big business, lobbyists control Congress. Someone's gotta protest.
Lyrics
Your neighbor's never home these days He works three jobs so that he can pay The mortgage, school and then two cars We always knew that he'd go far His wife is pregnant with their fourth 'cause Row v. Wade was overturned in court The banks won't lend him what he needs His credit score's too low it seems He's got no way out He's ina a jam With bank collectors And Uncle Sam It's medication or his heart will stop While he's relaxing at the park He didn't plan this He's worked so hard so long No one will help him 'cause he's in default Chapter Eleven is on his mind He'll go to bed tonigh but he won't sleep Everyone's so proud of Frank He's got a good position at the bank His bonus check was $1.3m He made a fortune for his company He works foreclosures He's so good at it He's got no neighbors Up or down his street Those empty mansions He watched them all move out Their jobs were taken overseas And that's the way it goes They want you on your knees You lose your job, car, house and family But it all works out on their bottom line They call it fleecing the economy I found a way out I just won't play their game And I won't listen to their false campaigns The House and Senate work for lobbyists They always take good care of Big Business
