lyrics

My student loan bill has come due
This week I turned in my annual review
Exceeding my goals got me raise
Hovering above the inflation rate

The State of the Union means more than it did
Far more than it did back when I was a kid
Now that I'm older and I understand
It's hard to believe things are going as planned
The State of the Union means more than it did, far more than it did

The State of the Union's affecting us all
United we stand and divided we fall
Giving campaign deducting my pay
Send my regards to the United Way

The State of the Union means more than it did
Far more than it did back when I was a kid
Now that I'm older and I understand
It's hard to believe things are going as planned
The State of the Union means more than it did, far more than it did

Credit is paid where the credit is due
Someone's to blame, but we're not blaming you
Realize wincing that we've been deceived
We blinded ourselves 'cuz we want to believe
Credit is paid where the credit is due
Someone's to blame, but we're not blaming you
Realize wincing that we've been deceived
We blinded ourselves 'cuz we want to believe

Try to stay close, follow my lead
Keep yourself free from corruption and greed
We'll try not to judge, we'll fight for your cause
We'll try to ignore all the character flaws

The State of the Union means more than it did
Far more than it did back when I was a kid
Now that I'm older and I understand
It's hard to believe things are going as planned
The State of the Union means more than it did, far more than it did
