We are the wicks Burning at both ends The long lines suckling The teats of Miss Fortune The gravel on dirt roads Flung by spinning big wheels We are the refuge that pays To be trampled upon To be urinated on by trickling down economics As we pledge allegiance with our dollars , schools , and civil disobediance We are the one man one vote lie Gerry Manhandled democracy Protected by false arrest every Seventeen seconds We are the walls of fallacy Built to someday keep us in While our leader talks of handling The homeless crisis by moving them To government relocation centers Just like ****** did We are the fools at the center of the spin In it goes and out the other end We are the losers , the God Bless Americans , that God can no longer stand.
