Another day, another down
another shot to hell
another day, the numbers rise
straight into the ground
it's upside down, it's upside down

you say freedom, well this ain't freedom
what you try to sell
you say patience, we need patience
you say the years will tell
but it's upside down, it's upside down

you're in your house, in your chair
safe behind your walls
a mother cries, can't you hear it
with every child that falls
it's upside down, it's upside down
