[Verse 1]

Every day the deficit grows

You spend more than you own

Papa always said to me

"Keep a close eye on your authority"

[Chorus]

'Cause you say that you cared

And I was unaware

You say that you cared

And I was unaware

[Hook]

All you do is push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

[Verse 2]

Every day taxes increase

So is this our land or is this our lease?

Papa says "Son, it's the land of the free"

As he broke his back trying to make ends meet

[Chorus]

You say that you cared

And I was unaware

You say that you cared

And I was unaware

[Hook]

All you do is push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

[Chorus]

'Cause you say that you cared

And I was unaware

You say that you cared

And I was unaware

[Hook]

'Cause all you do is push, pull, tear

'Cause all you do is push, pull, tear

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

No, no, we can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther, no, no
