Lyrics
He bent down his head as he got off the phone. They had threatened to take everything that he owned. And the rush in his head, like an oncoming train, had started all over again.
In the madness of youth he did all that he could, to rise to the top and to make his dad proud. But the government had other plans for his gain. And it started all over again.
Now the creditors call him and only want more. He has nothing to give them, like he's told them before. He is living a borrowed existance in pain. And it's started all over again.
America's free only to those who pay. And if you can't, then what you have's taken away. It's a sad commentary and a sadder refrain. And it's started all over again.
