What happened to society?
Where greed takes priority?
Self becomes the whole
Instead of the ones with no homes

Follow up with a job
Suddenly, they don't even know who you are
But yet will slam the hammer down
"I'm sorry, but we're going a different direction"

So close, yet so far
Like a line on the hook
Shaking the stick with a sinister look

Forget the people,
Provide for the rich
Let people die
While we dig the ditch
