spending resources of futures thrift
will leave us cold, hungry, bereft

wandering about with our own discontent
blaming government, banks, others, the event

got all we want, way more than we needed
haven't listened to frugal tomes and heeded

some lessons in life are hardly learned
to have a penny saved we need it earned

one things for sure, I'll make a bet
we'll keep goin' deeper, deeper in debt

to daughters and sons we'll pass the note
to bail our boat, another loan to float

but of this i believe, and am quite sure
if we want less, we'll surely get more
