House of Cards

We’re building a house of cards
So carefully arranged
I’m holding my breath now
Wondering if things are gonna change

Bodies falling in Cairo
Hands outstretched in grief
While over here on Wall St.
People are fighting greed

I’m one step away from the pavement
Almost on my knees
There’s gotta be a better way
What happened to integrity?

I ain’t no anarchist
But I know one thing
The government’s not listening
What will our future bring?

We all want an opportunity
A break that we can see
There’s got to be a fundamental change
It’s gonna come from you and me
