lyrics

Poor Man’s Lament



Representative, Sitting on a park bench

Watchin’ all the poor walk by

Holds tight to his money lined pockets

Big Slice of American Pie



Representative represent

Kick backs to corporations

While we can’t pay our rent

Weak work with months vacations

Our unemployment spent



Whistle



Senator sittin’ in the first class

Watchin’ all the middle class get canned

Fat baggage strapped to the right wing

Leave it up to the left to land



Rich Senator stay the course

Bail out the Wall Street bankers

While they forcloe our doors

Iraq filled oil tankers

Our kids can fight your wars



Whistle



Koch Brothers sittin’ on their old asses

Having a Tea Party

Manipulating and dividing all the underclasses

A Machiavellian Monoploly



De De, De De De De……



Mr. President hear our plea

Limit the power of the corporation

To buy our Democracy

Unmask the secrets of this sad nation

It’s now or never let us be free



Whistle
