We're Living in the Modern Depression

We're living in the modern depression
Where families are fighting to survive
Where businesses are struggling to not go under
And the unemployment rate's on the rise

We're living in the modern depression
Where food kitchen lines are out the door
Where homeless shelters can't stay stocked
And there's a new definition to 'poor'

We're living in the modern depression
Where the wealthy are now middle class
Where people are selling their luxuries
And comfort is a like thing of the past

We're living in the modern depression
Where we're going back to the thirties
Where we must now leave behind our pride
And ask for some help when we're hungry

We're living in the modern depression
Where helping others is what to do
Where families become what's important
And together we're just trying to get through

We're living in the modern depression
Where tomorrow we hope for the best
Where we will be stronger and tougher
And ready to just finish the rest

We're living in the modern depression
Where we will finally all get through
We'll do our best and win this race
I know 'cause that's all we can do
