The rich get richer
And the poor remain
On the margins or
Down the drain
Don’t look for conservatives
To feel their pain
They’re only interested
In what they can gain

Forget about all those
Who are in need
Today the rich worship
At the temple of greed
And they’ll do anything
In order to succeed
So if you’re listening
I suggest you heed

Most are sleeping
So they’re unaware
Of just who benefits
From Affordable Health Care
So they back people
With the nerve to dare
Suggest they’ll repeal it
Cuz they just don’t care

Some will vote for those
Who back the status quo
And stand by idly
Watching the misery index grow
But promise us security
As if they really know
How to bring it about
But again here we go
