Up and Down Songtext
von Chris Housman

National math scores are slipping
But we′re better than ever at division
Oh, something about this isn't adding up
Every day′s a new battle
Tryna keep our ass in the saddle now
They're rounding us up like cattle in a truck (what the fuck?)

They're high up on that horse
We′re down here fighting wars
They give to the rich, take from the poor
Makes you wonder what we′re working for
They've got us all turned around
I′ve realized the real divide ain't left and right
It′s up and down
(Yippee!)


We're out here pinching pennies
They can wipe their ass with a 20
Tell me, what′s it like to have plenty?
I don't know (I don't know)
A billionaire′s got a mega yacht
A single mom′s got a second job
Whatever bullshit this is gotta go (it's gotta go)

They′re high up on that horse
We're down here fighting wars
They give to the rich, take from the poor
Makes you wonder what we′re working for
They've got us all turned around
I′ve realized the real divide ain't left and right
It's up and down

Up, up, up, up and down
Up, up, up, up and down
Up, up, up, up and up and down (yippee!)

There′s gotta be a new direction
One that connects us
How the hell do we even out
All of this up and down?
(Hey)


They′re high up on that horse
We're down here fighting wars
They give to the rich and take from the poor
Makes you wonder what we′re working for
They've got us all turned around
I′ve realized the real divide ain't left and right
It′s them and us, not you and I
The real divide is up and down

Up, up, up, up and down
Up, up, up, up and down
Up, up, up, up and up and down (whoo-hoo!)
Up, up, up, up and down
Up, up, up, up and down
Up, up, up, up and up and down (up and down)
(Yee-haw!)
