The Bottom Line by Gc5
The Bottom Line lyrics
Coming out of the womb the world feels like a tomb
We�Š�e heavily indebted
From the cradle to the grave, we�Š�e always slaves
Always tugging at credit
See the misery and the poverty
And how they exacerbate it
While we�Š�e breakin?our backs tryin?to pay back
Loans made to dictators
And I don�Š� know why we sacrifice our children
But it follows from your premises
They�Š�e just dollars and cents, they�Š�e just resources to expend
Somewhere there�Š� a bottom line more important than yours
The financial vultures have built a culture
That pits us against our brothers
And we�Š�l always bleed as long as greed
Can hide under freedom�Š� cover
Their debt relief�Š� a source of constant grief
To those who bear it�Š� burden
While the money flows North more than back and forth
From the coffers of free trade�Š� servants
Little girl born in a cemetary
All around her is dead and buried
Born into a world devoid of hope
Little girl born in a cemetary
Knowing nothing of the burden she�Š�l carry
Your accounting owes her more than this
