[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm staring at these numbers, looking at the red

National debt climbing high, got me feeling kinda dead

Politicians talking, but it's all just empty words

We drowning in this debt, it's like we never heard

Money flying out, but where it all gonna land

People struggling, trying to make a stand

Printing out that paper, but it ain't worth a dime

Debt stacking up, it's like we running out of time

Looking at the future, it's looking kinda bleak

Economy in shambles, it's making me weak

Gotta find a way to turn this ship around


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, the billion dollar blues, it's a heavy load

But we gotta find a way to crack this code

Yeah, thе billion dollar blues, it's a heavy load

But we gotta find a way to crack this codе (Yeah)


[Verse 1]

I'm feeling trapped in this economic maze

National debt got me in a daze

Numbers climbing high, can't even see the peak

Politicians playing games, they just love to tweak

Printing money like it's going out of style

Future generations gonna be stuck in a pile

Interest rates rising, but we can't keep up

Billion dollar deficits got me feeling stuck

Uncle Sam's pockets looking empty as can be

But they keep on spending, ain't no end that I see

Taxpayers sweating, working hard for a dime

While the debt keeps growing like it's just a climb

Billion dollar blues got me feeling low

Politicians talking, but they moving slow

Gotta find a way to balance this mess

Before we drown in this financial distress


[Pre-Chorus]

Dollar bills flying, printing more and more

But the wealth divide widening, what's it all for?

Big banks getting bailed out, while the small businesses drown

Uncle Sam's pockets empty, we're all getting pushed around

Got the IRS knocking, looking for their share


[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm staring at these numbers, looking at the red

National debt climbing high, got me feeling kinda dead

Politicians talking, but it's all just empty words

We drowning in this debt, it's like we never heard

Money flying out, but where it all gonna land

People struggling, trying to make a stand

Printing out that paper, but it ain't worth a dime

Debt stacking up, it's like we running out of time

Looking at the future, it's looking kinda bleak

Economy in shambles, it's making me weak

Gotta find a way to turn this ship around


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, the billion dollar blues, it's a heavy load

But we gotta find a way to crack this code

Yeah, the billion dollar blues, it's a heavy load

But we gotta find a way to crack this code (Yeah)


[Verse 2]

They say money talks, but all I hear is silence

Got the weight of a nation on my shoulders, feel the violence

Debt piling up, like a mountain I can't climb

Every dollar spent, another tick on the time

Politicians in suits, making deals behind closed doors

While the people out here struggling, can't take no more

Economy tanking, inflation on the rise

We living paycheck to paycheck, just trying to survive

They print more money, but it's just paper in the wind

Can't pay back what we owe, it's a cycle that won't end

I'm counting my blessings, but they don't pay the bill

Got the billion dollar blues, tell me how to fill

We in debt up to our necks, drowning in the red

Uncertain future, hanging by a thread

But I keep my head high, tryna stay above the tide

Praying for a miracle, in this world of divide


[Pre-Chorus]

Dollar bills flying, printing more and more

But the wealth divide widening, what's it all for?

Big banks getting bailed out, while the small businesses drown

Uncle Sam's pockets empty, we're all getting pushed around

Got the IRS knocking, looking for their share


[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm staring at these numbers, looking at the red

National debt climbing high, got me feeling kinda dead

Politicians talking, but it's all just empty words

We drowning in this debt, it's like we never heard

Money flying out, but where it all gonna land

People struggling, trying to make a stand

Printing out that paper, but it ain't worth a dime

Debt stacking up, it's like we running out of time

Looking at the future, it's looking kinda bleak

Economy in shambles, it's making me weak

Gotta find a way to turn this ship around


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, the billion dollar blues, it's a heavy load

But we gotta find a way to crack this code

Yeah, the billion dollar blues, it's a heavy load

But we gotta find a way to crack this code (Yeah)
