In a sluggish economy
Inflation, recession its the land of the free
Wait in unemployment lines
Blame the government for hard times

We just get by
However we can
We all have to duck
When the shit hits the fan

Ten kids in a Cadillac
Stand in lines for welfare checks
Let's all leech off the state
Gee, the money's really great!

We just get by
However we can
We all have to duck
When the shit hits the fan

Soup lines
Free loaves of bread
Five-pound blocks of cheese
Bags of groceries
Social security
Has run out on you and me
We do whatever we can
Gotta duck when the shit hits the fan

Just get by
However we can
We all have to duck
When the shit hits the fan

Soup lines
Free loaves of bread
Five-pound blocks of cheese
Bags of groceries
Social security
Has run out on you and me
We do whatever we can
Gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
