The Economist Songtext
von Mansions

I am the economist
My worst fears all came true
Dear all the snakes that i have met
I wave white flags to you
And it′s a long long way to the foot of your bed
It's been a long hard day and i can′t ever get you alone
How do i get you alone

And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no
New knives that i can't escape cause i ain't living in the black
I ain′t living in the black, i know
I could never make it alone

The faucets leak, the floorboards squeak
I′ve found my place to live
Woke up riding shotgun
Felt that daylight creeping in
It's been a long hard day take me out to the back
I think i lost my way but honey you got the map, i know


And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no
New knives that i can′t escape cause i ain't living in the black
I ain′t living in the black, i know
I could never make it alone

I just wanna be good at something i like
Something i might wake up for
Cause i've been sleeping so long
I′m up on a stage or minimum wage
Scream myself hoarse

And if i go away well i won't wait, no i can't wait
Turn around and you′ll get replaced
No i won′t wait forever, no i won't

And if i go away well i won′t wait, no i can't wait
Turn around and you′ll get replaced
No i won't wait forever, no i won′t

And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no
New knives that i can't escape cause i ain't living in the black
I ain′t living in the black, i know
I could never make it alone

And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no
New knives that i can′t escape cause i ain't living in the black
I ain′t living in the black, i know
I could never make it alone
