[Intro]
Receipts like battle banners
Blown across the floor
Coins rattle in the cupboard
Like ghosts that beg for more
[Verse 1]
Woke up rich in paper
Broke by afternoon
Prices riding rockets
Past the bleeding moon
Every checkout counter
Another iron gate
Guarding what we used to buy
Last year at half the rate
[Chorus]
Dragon of inflation
You’re eating all our gold
Breathing fire on every wage
Our pockets turn to smoke
Dragon of inflation
You never fight alone
You take and take and take again
’til nothing’s left to own
[Verse 2]
Grocery cart half-empty
Still the debt runs wild
Bills stacked like a tower
Higher than a child
They say it’s just a cycle
A storm that has to pass
But storms don’t drink my savings dry
Then laugh behind the glass
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Raise your cards
Your crumpled notes
Hold them like a shield
They melt like wax
In molten jaws
On this burning field
[gang vocals] “Not one coin more!”
But the beast just grins
Every number on the board
Spins
Spins
Spins
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
