It's Getting Better
Rising Tides of Change: Suburban Resistance Unveils Social Commentary
Lyrics
Corporations are people now
Corporations are now legally recognized as people.
If that makes sense I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty about the logic or sense behind this legal recognition.
Trickle down has fizzled out
The economic policy of "trickle-down" has proven ineffective or unsuccessful.
A population filled with doubt
The general population is filled with skepticism or lack of confidence.
It's getting better you hear that all the time
Optimistic statement about things improving, a common expression.
Just look around and you might change your mind
Encouraging the listener to observe their surroundings for a potential change in perspective.
It's getting better, it's getting better, it's getting better
Repetition emphasizing the idea that things are improving.
But not for you
Contrast, suggesting that despite general improvement, it does not apply to the listener.
It's no fun living check to check
Expressing the challenges and lack of enjoyment in living paycheck to paycheck.
One lucky break and you'll be set
Hopeful perspective that a fortunate event can change one's financial situation.
You don't know what you can do
Encouragement to explore one's potential or capabilities.
Place your bet on twenty two
Suggesting a gamble or risk on a specific outcome (betting on twenty two).
It's getting better you hear that all the time
Reiteration of the optimistic statement about improvement.
Just look around and you might change your mind
Reinforcing the idea that observation may lead to a change in perspective.
It's getting better, it's getting better, it's getting better
Repetition emphasizing continued improvement, but with a contrasting tone.
But not for you
Reiteration of the contrast, emphasizing the exclusion of the listener.
It's getting better you hear that all the time
Restating the optimistic view of improvement.
Just look around and you might change your mind
Encouraging observation for potential mindset change.
It's getting better, it's getting better, it's getting better
Repetition of the idea of ongoing improvement, with a reminder of exclusion.
But not for you
Reiteration of the contrast, emphasizing that improvement does not apply to the listener.
For you
Specifically addressing the lack of improvement for the listener.
Not for you
Emphasizing the continued lack of improvement for the listener.
It's getting better, But not for you
Restating the overall positive trend of improvement but maintaining the exclusion for the listener.
