Things Might Be What They Seem
Kjelland/Ranney

Things might be what they seem

Vestigial shacks, but you can't go back
America went west and fell into the ocean
Build me some stuff, make it look rough
Same-ol' same-ol' new stuff gives me retrograde emotion

Pressing our luck, a runaway truck
It's overdrive time in the land of milk and honey
Who cares if we crash? We got a big stash
When it breaks down we can always eat our money

Kissing a spouse, pushing the mouse
Money and love is a winning combination
Getting ahead, eyes turning red
The family jewels are setting course to save our nation

Keep it afloat, buy a new boat
The market will tank if no one ever drops the hammer
We're doing our part, we've made a good start
Let's spend it all quick while daddy's trading in the slammer
