PAY, PAY, AND PAY THE PIPER Well, here we go again It’s screw the little guy Cut out their minimum wage To fatten up the corporate pie. No bid, contract windfalls For the likes of Halliburton Who will do what they always do And pay kick-backs, for certain. Enough to make a body sick While we sit back, say, “For shame!” While we let them do “IT” to us And play their dirty, greedy game. Nobody else will pay the price Except the poor man on the street While those with their deep pockets Will surely make “IT” all complete. Nobody wants to cut their “pork” “Leave my parking garage alone!” “Don’t raise taxes!” (for the rich) “Let’s just get another Chinese loan!” “Don’t pay our workers living wage!” “We can get it cheaper over there!” Or, “We’ll let them in to do our work!” There’s nobody seems to care. Now, they want a “Wal-Mart Bank” To control all of their billions No thought, to the jobs they cost That will number in the millions. Our Country in the line of fire Worse, after the Storm has gone Someday, I hope we will awaken While there’s still a new morning’s dawn. Someday, we’ll have to pay the piper (Well, what the hell have we been doing?) Let’s just hope the bill gets paid Before our Country is in ruin! 9-21-2005 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 |
