By: Cedric McClester The poor get poorer everyday And corporations have their way Congress seems to have no sway While lobbyist hold them at bay We are tired of bein’ clowned And told that wealth trickles down That rationale's proven unsound Because it never reaches ground Things have gotten too far gone Our lives have been reduced to **** And most of y’all ain’t even torn Tell me what the hell is goin’ on The Constitution’s been destroyed Our troops are always redeployed We now do what we should avoid Cos terror’s has us paranoid And here’s the thing I always feared Once your name has been smeared There's no chance of it being cleared And you can literally be disappeared Things have gotten too far gone Our lives have been reduced to **** And most of y’all ain’t even torn Tell me what the hell is goin’ on One percent have all the loot While ninety-nine shines their boots And Congress appears in cahoots With history majors like the Newts Things have gotten too far gone Our lives have been reduced to **** And most of y’all ain’t even torn Tell me what the hell is goin’ on Job creators? Where they at? I just see ‘em getting’ fat It’s high time they come to bat And lay those jobs out on the mat But fat chance that just won’t happen Long as most of us are nappin’ Pretty soon we’ll all be strapping And our guns will soon be clappin’ Things have gotten too far gone Our lives have been reduced to **** And most of y’all ain’t even torn Tell me what the hell is goin’ on The poor get poorer everyday And corporations have their way Congress seems to have no sway While lobbyist hold them at bay We are tired of bein’ clowned And told that wealth trickles down That rationale’s proven unsound Because it never reaches ground Cedric McClester, Copyright (c) 2016.  All rights reserved.
