Flyin' with broken wings
is harder with your legs chained down (yeah, yeah)
and runnin' ain't so easy to do
with your ankles bound (yeah, yeah)
and breathin' ain't so easy to do
when you're six feet underground (yeah, yeah)

cause I'm

Feelin' the weight
of the world
and it's draggin' me down (x3)

Well I guess it would be pretty nice
if I could get a couple dollars
and a few bags of rice
I'm tryin' ta
feed my family on a minimum wage
but the debt keeps risin' makes us feel like slaves
I keep rubbin to dimes together
tyring to save up enough for some stormy weather
but the wind keeps blowin and the rain keeps on fallin...
debt collection agencies just keep on a callin
now my banks shut down due to insolvent funds...
I'm starting to think this problem's gonna be solved with guns
Rockefeller sittin' at the helm of a tanker
and a bailout, only been designed for the bankers.
Passin legislation that nobody can read
corporations runnin rampant with unchecked greed
so now I'm
sittin on the corner beggin for change I can believe in
while the bosses keep on schemin
the familiy's still grievin about the peace they're not achievin
and I'm

Feelin' the weight
of the world
and it's draggin' me down (x3)

Now lady luck's never been much of a friend of mine
each time I wave at her she only left me behind
I can't get a loan it's just a sign of the times
commission reports coverin' up for government crimes
my refund check I hope will give me a boost
all I get is all these chickens comin home to roost
the bull market done ran away with my spoon
the fat cat stole the cradle out from under the moon
rearrangin chairs on the Titanic goin down
I play this tiny violin cause there's no hope for a turnaround
for retribution or perhaps the constitution
all I get is problem, reaction, then solution
I make my contribution to this state of execution
hope that natural evolution leads to a new revolution and I'm

Feelin' the weight
of the world
and it's draggin' me down (x3)
