Empty Pockets

Empty Pockets, Foreign Gold 2026/2/26 23:14:38 Lyrics (Verse 1) Another notice on the door, printed in red ink Power's going up again, push you to the brink Used to have a steady job, factory downtown Now it's just a hollow shell, another ghost in town Boarded up the windows, locked the gates for good Another hundred on the street, misunderstood They talk about the greater good, a flag across the sea But what about the family right here, next to me? My wallet's thin, my patience thinner, stomach starts to growl While they're sending billions out, I hear the people howl (Chorus) They're waving flags for other lands, making noble speeches While the water's rising here, flooding all the beaches Of our hope, of our dreams, of the life we're meant to own My pockets are empty, but they're funding a foreign throne They say it's for the nation's pride, a strategic, clever play But we're the ones left in the dark to pay, and pay, and pay (Verse 2) Turn the TV on, it's news about a distant fight Politicians pledging aid with all their might Smiling for the cameras, shaking foreign hands Ignoring the collapsing homes in their own lands The price of bread, the cost of gas, it's a vertical climb Feels like we're living someone else's borrowed time They tell us tighten up our belts, be patriots and wait But waiting doesn't fill a plate or change a bitter fate I see the old folks shivering, can't afford the heat While tax money paves a stranger's golden street (Chorus) They're waving flags for other lands, making noble speeches While the water's rising here, flooding all the beaches Of our hope, of our dreams, of the life we're meant to own My pockets are empty, but they're funding a foreign throne They say it's for the nation's pride, a strategic, clever play But we're the ones left in the dark to pay, and pay, and pay (Bridge) We're not against them, we're just for us, is that too much to ask? To put your own people first, is that too hard a task? They call it selfish, call it blind, to want to fix what's broke But every promise that they made has gone up in the smoke We're tired of the sacrifice, the burden that we bear For a government that shows us they just don't care (Outro) Yeah, they just don't care Empty cupboards, empty stares Sending fortunes over there While we're breathing broken air How much more can we all take? For another nation's sake? It's a promise they will break It's a damn mistake.
