You're a money man
Pretending to be poor
Lying to your people
Who deserve more
Your towns are dust bowls
Broken and bust
All of their lives
Gathering rust
We thought that these days belonged to the past
Golden age would never last
Destroyer
Battle hard won
Just days to be undone
Destroyer
Jobs gone overseas
Banks gambled their homes
They lied and they cheated
Sold luckless loans
You blame the immigrant
And not the CEO
Now you must maintain
The status quo
We thought that these days belonged to the past
Golden age would never last
Destroyer
Battle hard won
Just days to be undone
Dark shroud on our shoulder
Keeps on creeping, making us colder
Dark shroud on our shoulder
Dark shroud on our shoulder
Keeps on creeping, making us colder
Dark shroud on our shoulder
We thought that these days belonged to the past
Golden age would never last
Destroyer
Battle hard won
Just days to be undone
We thought that these days belonged to the past
Golden age would never last
Destroyer
Battle hard won
Just days to be undone
Destroyer
