I got running water
Cold or hotter
And I never have to
Watch my daughter
Get *****

I get internet and electricity
And I never had to watch my city
Get burnt from drone dropped bombs

I got air conditioner and heating
Even though I took a few beatings
I don’t have to be afraid
Of getting shot today

I got a job paying minimum wage
So after my bills I got a little extra
Coming my way
So I can buy books and go to the movies

May life may not be great
But I can’t debate
That when I wake up each day
I don’t wake up a slave

When I walk home at night
I am not walking in a state of fright
Anxious that some stranger might
Hurt me

I live better than over seventy five percent
Of the world
Even my worse days
Beat the haze of foreign war ways
