  • You got a way of running your mouth
    You rant and rave, you left it all out
    The thing about it is, little that you say is true

    Why bother checkin', the facts'll be damned
    It's how you spin it, it's part of the plan
    I'm here to tell you that your sicken loan is coming due

    Only so long you can keep this charade
    Before they wake up and see they've been played
    Too many people with their livin' at stake
    Ain't gonna take it
    The comin' round is going through
    The comin' round is going through

    You say it's workin', it's tricklin' down
    Yeah, there's a trick, 'cause the jobs ain't around
    From where you're sittin' tell me how you think you possibly know?

    The way it feels to get turned away
    Never enough, it's day after day
    Yank that by your bootstraps
    'Cause that's the way it really goes

    Only so long you can keep this charade
    Before they wake up and see they've been played
    Too many people with their livin' at stake
    Ain't gonna take it
    The comin' round is going through
    The comin' round is going through

    'Cause when the money's makin' money, it comes down to a few
    Got their hands on the throttle and nobody gets through
    You can work all your life for a hand that will play
    With one role of the dice, it gets swept away

    Just look around, things are startin' to slip
    You're outta control, and you're losin' your grip
    No way to stop it, that river's spillin' over for good
    We don't have the answer, we know what it's not
    'Cause the people will keep pushin' 'til they get a shot
    Your money's no good there, we wouldn't cash you a check if we could Writer/s: BONNIE RAITT, GEORGE MARINELLI
