When I woke up this morning, I was feeling mostly fine.
Didn’t have a slot to spare but what I had was mine.
Then, some man behind a table offered me a card.
Said it’d make my life complete. Now, don’t that sound bizarre?
What’s a soul to do when the wolves are at the door,
And they tell you ‘you are Pre-Approved’ for all you want and more?

Just trying to keep a leg up and doing all I can.
But he said money was no object and he promised me the moon.
'Just sign right on the dotted line ‘cuz you are Pre-approved.'
What’s a soul to do when the wolves are at the door,
And they tell you ‘you are Pre-Approved’ for all you want and more?
With this card, your dreams await you. Step right up. Don't hesitate to
Trust us, kid. We'll be your friend. Have it all. It’s yours to spend.

Then stuck it to the little guy. It’s time to take a stand.
‘Cuz they’re mortgaging our future and the future ain't that far.
Like 'America the Beautiful,' it’s all ‘bout who we are.
What's a soul to do when the wolves are at the door,
And the man says ‘you are Pre-Approved’ for all you want and more?
