about

This song was written while the last economical downturn occurred in 2008.

lyrics

I’ve driven to debt filled oblivion
With attractive credit card rates
Blamed the greed on the markets
“Brokers made mistakes.”

I’ve driven past the empty houses
Empty shells in this game of chance,
“No more chips in the poker bowl, baby”
Nobody around left to dance.

I got to turn this car around …..

Greed is fuel for this vehicle.
Wanting more than I can afford
Under illusion and the maya,
My worth is based on what I hoard.

It’s not things that make me happy
What is happiness anyway?
Thought I was “better than the Jones” -
Is the lie that leads to decay.

I got to turn this car around …..

Drive towards the empty chasm,
Lenders will not help me survive.
So I wake up from this financial coma,
Realize to myself how much I’ve lied.

But the Universe will forgive me
As I forgive myself as well
Now I know power is not in Wall St.
I’ll drive away from this hell.

I got to turn this car around …..
