Debt

Debt swallowed the sun
Debt stole the stars
Debt loaded the gun
And crashed all the cars

Debt packed its punch
Debt pinched your purse
When we laid out the lunch
Debt eat it up first

Debt said “obey me!”
Forced me to lie
Murdered the babies
Then walked on by


And debt is a swindler
Banging our door
And debt is a monster
Hungry for more
And debt is the grist
That grinds the machine
The rich men get pissed
On the sweat of our dreams

Debt made each night
A sleepless endurance
Debt nicked the bike
And claimed the insurance


Debt led us distressed
In its drunken dance
Got us undressed
Pointed and laughed

Debt slept in our bed
Debt took all it wanted
Breathed down your neck
And left my days haunted

And if I didn’t love you
Nor know it was wrong
I could bruise you blue
With the pain of this song
And if you didn’t want me
If our bond wasn’t strong
You could walk to the sea
With one wave and be gone

Debt loved to say yes
It smiled its advice
Then returned with a threat
Til we paid back debt twice

Now all we have left
Is the life left in us
So let’s swear on each breath
That it won’t kill our love
Let’s swear on each breath
That it won’t kill our love
