Lyrics
When it all fell down they simply built it again
Bailouts for the banks and for the businessmen
We asked when help would come for the homeless
For the crestfallen and the newly hopeless
They said it was on its way shortly after
The private sector needed a bailout faster
A decade plus later we're back where we started
Realizing our needs aren't highly regarded
This weight in our chest has been here all of our lives x 2
(Chorus)
We're the children of a flawed design
Defeated; you can miss it in the blink of an eye
Moving on with weary, but open minds
We're the children of a flawed design
Communiting in jalopies we struggle to own
From the studio apartments we call homes
Every move under the eyes of company drones
Who've conditioned us to never be without a phone
We lost the battle and we'll probably lose the war
Medical patents and accounts offshore
No wonder we're all on pills that end in pam
We know who did this and they don't give a damn
Chorus
Growing up we were viewed for what we could be
Potential consumers so they hooked us on TV
Then they move the TVs into our pockets
Trading in our youth for their personal profit
We're the children of a flawed design x4
