Overflow

You can follow the signs that lead

To all the foreclosed properties

Screwed by the loans that rose above our means

And there's a trail of change that leads

To all the bankrupt companies

People losing jobs just as sure as you and me

And don't you think we could figure it out

With recovery payments, government handouts

Got my stimulus waiting in the mail when i come home

But nothing lasts forever working day to day

Thinking i can get by once i get paid

One thing after another keeping me in debt

Can't keep up with my payments when there's nothing left

There's a woman across the globe

Poverty is all she's ever known

But you wouldn't know it if you ever saw her

Two boys and a girl

Her husband's left its up to her

We put our hope in the bank

She puts her hope in something higher

And maybe she has got it figured all out

With the leaky, cracked ceiling on her one room house

But a love that overflows like her buckets in the rain

Only one thing lasts forever and its not this life

So i'll live like everything is gonna be alright

Someone already came and paid my debt

I can give and give and give til there's nothing left
