The lights are on, but you’re not home
your house is not your own
your heart sweats, your body shakes
another loan is what it takes

You can’t sleep, you can’t eat
there’s no doubt, you’re in deep
your throat is tight, you can’t breathe
another loan is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh Yeah
it’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough,
you know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to debt

you see the signs, but you can’t read
you’re running at a different speed
your heart beats in double time
another loan and you’ll be mine, a one-track mind

you can’t be saved
more spending is all you crave
if there’s some left for you
you don’t mind if you do

whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh Yeah
it’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough,
you know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to debt

Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt

your lights are on, but you’re not home
your house is not your own
your heart sweats your teeth grind
another mortgage and you’ll be mine

whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh Yeah
it’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough,
you know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to debt

might als well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to debt

Materialism and cosnumerism is all fun until someone loses an eye- er, economy.

And here I was all these years being told that as long as governments kept printing money all would be well. "All the other countries are doing it," they said. I always equated it with a family constantly getting more and higher interest credit cards until nobody legitimate would lend them anything more... and so they went to the loan sharks. Then finally their legs would get broken and they'd lose their house and things anyway, only messier and with substantially more insult and injury.

Governments are not just like people. They *are* people, only with authority to more often, though still only temporarily, circumvent both their own laws and the laws of economics. Nature almost always wins.

Very good!

Yeah, I'm going to be paying on loans until I'm in my 40s (unless I somehow get lucky in business exchanges).

Tough stuff for my generation! It's a small comfort to know that I'm not the only person facing this fate.
