it's plain to see, economy is meant for us
the working poor now,
gonna have to grab our own bootstraps
and pull the leather up to our necks
in this new society
gonna have to take care of each other
walk with the old lady down the street to
the church giving out baskets of food
find the ****** addict  under the bridge
and leave him a box
full of warm dry socks and underwear
because
it is in the interests  of the ruling class
that promised no cuts to health care or
Medicaid
no one's  gonna do without health care
and like all
the promises before
by the politicians it
all comes to naught
except for the rich who
have their taxes cut
chumps come and go
and  it has always been us
against them
I thought FDR changed that.
I guess not.
