Every day, the deficit grows

You spend more than you own

Papa always said to me

"Keep a close eye on your authority"

You say that you care

I was unaware

You say that you care

I was unaware

All you do is push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther

Every day, taxes increase

So is this our land or is this our lease?

Papa said, "Son, it's the land of the free"

As he broke his back trying to make ends meet

You say that you care

I was unaware

You say that you care

I was unaware

All you do is push, pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther

Push, pull, tear

Yeah

You say that you care

I was unaware

You say that you care

I was unaware

'Cause all you do is push, pull, tear

Oh, all you do is push, pull, tear

Oh, push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther

Push, pull, tear

No, no

We can't stretch it any farther

Push and pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther, no

We can't stretch it any farther
