Trouble in Neon Light

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Tariffs are taxes, they ain’t no thrill Dress ’em up fancy, but they send us the bill Jobs don’t show when the prices climb All we get is overtime stress and decline (Pre-Chorus) You say it’s power, I say it’s pain Raising the stakes in a losing game No fix in sight, just empty frames Playing with fire, who’s left to blame? (Chorus) Tariff trouble on the floor tonight Trade war flashing in neon light No plan, no build, just talk and spin If we don’t move, we’ll cave right in Oh-oh, oh-oh, Tariff trouble, here we go! (Verse 2) Tension’s high, and the world’s on edge You’re dancing solo on a shaky ledge No roads, no wires, no solid ground Without real change, we’re going down (Pre-Chorus) You shake the globe, but can’t control The domino fall, the widening hole No future built on just a fee Need more than tweets to set us free (Chorus) Tariff trouble on the floor tonight Trade war flashing in neon light No plan, no build, just talk and spin If we don’t move, we’ll cave right in Oh-oh, oh-oh, Tariff trouble, here we go! (Bridge) This ain’t the ‘30s, don’t rewind Learn the lesson, read the signs Build it better, build it strong Tariff talk just plays us wrong (Final Chorus) Tariff trouble on the floor tonight Trade war flashing in neon light Great Depression knocking at the door Don’t want that rerun anymore Oh-oh, oh-oh, Tariff trouble — no encore!
