Maxed Out & Defeated

Advertising temptation
A credit possession driven nation
So determined, so obsessed
With having only the best
Swipe away what isn’t yours
To compare and compete
Take out another loan
Beg, borrow, steal

Fancy car, you’re in debt
House on show, not your asset
Immaterial, material
Death by debt
Blinded by greed
Termination damnation
They got everything to lose
It’s all taken by the bank
Drowning in booze

Society fueled by greed
Just know your children watch you
And they will follow your lead
Satisfy with society’s norm
You lie awake at night
Live in shameful scorn
Take out another loan
Beg, borrow, steal

Maxed out. Limit reached.
Declined. Exceeded. Defeated.
