A bun is in the oven
And the devil's down in New Orleans
Hiding in the closet
Tearing at the seams
Gotta keep your eye on
The future that you wanna see
The government is waiting
To rob you of your dreams
Early in the morning
Fighting off the sleep
Trying to keep the loans paid down
But you're in too deep
Tell me how I got here
Act of god or man?
Slowly it's becoming clear
Someone had a plan
Head under the table
Fighting back the tears
Losing the security
You fought for all these years
God you don't deserve this
Did everything right
Haunted by the memory
Still so scared to sleep at night
Desperate for a way out
Something's gotta give
Oh, sign those bloody papers for
One more day to live
Tell me how I got here
Act of god or man?
One thing is becoming clear
Someone had a plan
In the dark you came in
Through the clearing wind and rain
And without hesitation
Made my suffering your gain
But tell me how I got here
Act of god or man?
Nature is no accident
But you, you foul man
You had a plan.
