Lyrics

Pros in plastic
They distracted you with the handshake
But they didn't show you the invoice
Look at the math
Who's paying the bill when the cameras are gone?
Who's footing the check when the daylight is drawn?
Three hundred billion to settle the score
A golden parachute for the end of the war
You wrote out a check that you couldn't defend
Now the ghost check is bouncing right back at the end
Let's open the books, let's read the decree
The Islamabad memo, the terms of the free
You promised to rebuild what the rockets erased
Three hundred billion in plastic and paste
You stood at the mic and you pointed your hand
Said the Gulf state allies would pay for the land
Said the neighbors would fund it, they'd open the vault
But nobody's paying for this kind of fault
The allies are laughing, they're closing the door
They ain't dropping a dime on your personal war
Twenty billion in cash just to open the strait
You handed it over and called it debate
But the big bill is looming, the deadline is set
The biggest political historical debt
The ink is still wet but the paper is dry
You're selling a bridge that nobody will buy
So who holds the bag when the funding falls through?
The taxpayer always cleans up after you
You bought the applause with a pocket of air
Now the buck is completely and totally bare
Who's paying the bill when the cameras are gone?
Who's footing the check when the daylight is drawn?
Three hundred billion to settle the score
A golden parachute for the end of the war
You wrote out a check that you couldn't defend
Now the ghost check is bouncing right back at the end
Three hundred billion
And nobody's paying it
Three hundred billion
Look at the math
