So you want me “politically correct” ? I can do that to.
Once upon a time you paid for oil so fine
You sold the arabs some subprime, didn’t you?
People’d call, say, “Beware dollar, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next bailout steal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be unbacked by gold
Cleaned out to the bone
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
You’ve come backed by the biggest military allright, miss hasbeen money
But your privilege only made buy from slaves without shit
And nobody has ever taught you to deal when inflation hits
You said you’d never compromise
When the next crisis hits you will realize
You can’t sell China any more worthless lies
As you stare at coffin as another US soldier dies
And say you want to try another invasion spiel?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be unbacked by gold
Cleaned out to the bone
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
You never turned around to notice the protest from people in fly over towns
Even when they protested on the white house lawn for you
You never understood that it ain’t no good
You shouldn’t let private bankers maintain discipline for you
You used to send out jackals and assassins and call them diplomats
For yours your went around and all you sold was lead
Ain’t it hard when you discover that
The end will just like Weimar’s death
And the top 1% will take everything they can’t steal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be unbacked by gold
Cleaned out to the bone
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
Fat cat brokers and bankers and all the pretty people
They’re drinkin’, thinkin’ that they got it made
Trading swaps and derivatives
But if you have any gold fillings the IRS will come to claim it babe
You used to be so amused
At sand niggers in rags and the language they used
Go to them now, they call you, you can’t refuse
When you owe them all, you got nothing to lose
You are a failed empire now, ask the USSR how did it feel?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be unbacked by gold
Cleaned out to the bone
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
