In Debt Already

Come and save the world That's what people say.

That's the anthem that they chose to sing since I was a little kid.

They put the burden on my shoulders as soon as I could stand.

Come and save the world Is what people say.

With what would they have me do?

They took away education. They took away blame to ongoing abusers. They made it my concern with commercials storybooks and programs to save the whales.

They told me to save the world Then took no ownership of what had been done.

Generations of wealth But they leave me with none.

Come and save the world

I'll try my best.
