No, I wasn't there suffering Whip cracks And axes Or clashes with fascism's Poisonous gasses I didn't pay taxes Imposed upon masses Or stash my trash cash Beneath cardboard box mattresses Sleeping in heaps Of the stock market's crashes I've never known hunger Or Dust Bowl thirst-glasses I've never been lower Than lower class rations
I just cut my losses My checks, balance bills And of rights Mine are human From birth To the **** So I feel The injustice Disgust and distrust Of the ones who still toil In history's rust And to those who still spoil Themselves in its lust I admonish Will ever by hammers be crushed
