lyrics

There are a lotta people now who outta work
20 plus years of dedication let go just like some jerk

Well the times are uncertain
The only thing for certain is
ain't nothin' certain anymore

'Cept.. plenty super wealthy folks still struttin' round
Pushin' bitchin' shovin' makin' busy sounds

Oh they can afford to cheat on their taxes and wives
Playboys and playgirls havin' the time of their lives

Well the times they're uncertain
These days ain't nothin' certain
But behind every curtain is another door
The only thing for certain is ain't nothin' certain anymore

Families gettin' kicked out on defaulted loans
Fluctuatin' interest rates dancin' like skulls and crossbones

Corporate pirates running all of the banks
into golden shipwrecks as the economy tanks

While the poor folks are hurtin'
Drownin' 'fore they even touch the shore
The only thing for certain is ain't nothin' certain anymore

Tax payers payin' the debts
of the gamblers and crooks riding around in jets
and as a show of thanks... nothin'

I wonder how long this craziness gonna last
Who said the plague was just a thing of the past?
Only thing for certain is ain't nothin' certain anymore

Well my mama in her later years.. she was a maid
Her and my father cried so many tears
I'm not really in the mood to hear how you've got it made

I've not always been a humble man
Delusions of grandeur ruined all my plans

But if you make it out..
Just remember don't forget
the people you leave behind
Just remember those..
who went out of their way
to be kind..

Just remember don't forget..
the people you leave behind
Just remember those..
who went out of their way
to be kind..
