Текст песни Fiscal Cliff (Kevin Devine) с переводом

Talkin' shit about a «fiscal cliff»

A lot of effort at imagining

A situation, even a crisis

Just a distraction from the main event:

They gave you credit

Then cut your card up

Gave you a student loan but there’s no work

Gave you a mortgage

Then took your house keys

And somehow, you keep saying, «Thank you, sir»

If you’re angry, well, I’m angry, too

And I talk to myself like I know you do

And I’ve been hiding in my laptop, too

But in my mirror, I see you

In my mirror, I see a movement

Let’s move

But talkin' shit about the «1%»

Well, that isn’t gonna get you anything

It’s another slogan — it’s been co-opted!

It’s just a clever bit of marketing

Who needs the tanks when we hand it over?

Who needs a beacon if you’re fine with fog?

Whatever this is, it isn’t working

It’s not an argument

It’s nothing

(It's not)

If you’re angry, well, I’m angry, too

And I talk to myself like I know you do

And I’ve been hiding in my laptop, too

But in my mirror, I see you

In my mirror, I see a movement

You gotta marvel at the magic trick

That makes us choose against our interests
