My grandfather stayed with his friends parents during the Great Depression
And he was terrified to death that his parents would never come back when they left
And he worked multiple jobs as he grew up, just to make ends meet
And now I sit here eighty years later needing another job because I can't survive off of one job
And worried sick about my parents being safe and making it
We're the best country in the world but we have a horrible way with developing and giving people a chance at a decent life.
Even the best country in the world has its flaws
