Whats goin down, down down? It’s your bankroll.
Pockets looking flat when they used to be swole
Feelin like a half when you used to be whole
Walkin barefoot cause your shoes got no soul
Now tell how do you pay your bills?
When on your resume you’re runnin out of skills
Getting kind of scared, you’re headed for the hills.
Contemplate your life over a bottle of pills
You wonder how things ended up this way
Countin pennies tryin to make it through the day
Otis meets you sittin at the dock of the bay
Thinkin music goin take all of your cares away
Well stop, get real and smell that stinky flower
The situations getting more dire by the hour
Unemployment line you forgot to take a shower
Government owns you, they got all the power
Lookin down on you from an ivory tower

The economy's a star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer
The economy's a star killer
(Star killer, star killer, star killer, Oooh)
Star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer
The Economy’s A star killer.
Star Killer, star killer, star killer, Oooooh Ooh… star killer)

I cant tell you how to get out your situation
All that I can say to you is that I know what your facing
You gotta keep it real do what you feel
That’s how youll get your next meal
You gotta hustle

Now, all this talk about raisin the debt limit
When you can barely afford a banana split
Tryin to live like MC Hammer too legit too quit
All the while tryin to figure ways to pay your rent
Cant throw a punch no goin pound for pound
Cant shoot a jumper cant grab a rebound
Cant really swim or you might drown
You are not the king you cant claim the crown
At least your off the front page and despite all your rage still just
a rat in a cage
Clint Eastwoods countin no age cause he’s burnin that sage floatin
with the Osage
Its like runnin through a maze tryin to get enough wage when you get on stage
Unless you’re Wentworth Miller, The Economys a star killer

The economy's a star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer
The economy's a star killer
(Star killer, star killer, star killer, Oooh)
Star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer
The Economy’s A star killer.
Star Killer, star killer, star killer, Oooooh Ooh… star killer)

Why are things so hard you cry out loud as you sob in your hands
You gotta keep your grip or you might slip into the quicksands
You gotta hold on tight and don’t let go
Put up the fight before your soul gets sold

Ok, how about some posivitity
Why don’t you got a plant a tree
All that you need is a seed
I find it quite the comedy
You have to go to Zuyder Zee just to smoke a little weed
No matter whats your pedigree
Youre gonna need a little speed in the race to succeed
So until youre faster than CJ Spiller
(Insert big drum fill)
The economys a star killer

The economy's a star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer
The economy's a star killer
(Star killer, star killer, star killer, Oooh)
Star killer, star killer, star killer, star killer
The Economy’s A star killer.
Star Killer, star killer, star killer, Oooooh Ooh… star killer
