The Whole Deal
Thank God 2009 has finally passed
There are many that it kicked their ass
Talks of recession and money was short
No need to believe the Governments report
Just look at the towns as you drive through
Empty building and people with nothing to do
A new leader many would select
But Americans will he protect ?
Incentives for the rich and the few
For the poor what did he do
Around on bills he seems to swarm
Some kind of Health Care Reform
When it's done all will have a choice
But for now do we really have a voice
They seem to drag it all out
Thousands of pages what's that about
On other things the same money they spend
That it wasn't part of this bill they'll pretend
The votes don't they actually buy
We'll give your state more if this you'll try
We work our fingers to the bone
But our pay they won't leave alone
Taxing more each and every year
Wasting our money without any fear
We'd like to know if they've passed some kind of test
How the hell do they know what is best
And about us do they really care
Or do they just want to spend money that isn't there
People with so many questions and thoughts
A Government tied up in knots
Minimum wage they don't raise
Yet on caviar they sit back and graze
Our retirement is slipping away
Yet for their whole lives we have to pay
Why is it we all sit still?
Shouldn't we have a voice in the whole deal?
