THE LIKES, OF YOU AND ME I just hope all the People Find some Logic in their Heart And use their Minds a little bit Well now, that would be a Start! I hope they see the Voting Booth As a place to show their Will And belief in either Party? They'll find they've had their fill? They are just two Corporations Or combined, the “R & D” To Research and Develop The likes, of You and Me. They have us Working for them But give nothing in Return Seems like after all the History That someday, we might learn! Long as we Pay our Taxes And will send our Young to Fight And we don't Ask them for Anything They think things are, “Just right!” They can Raise their Wages For the little, they do, Do But can't raise the Minimum For the likes, of Me and You. There's doctors and the druggists And then, our own FDA Health Insurance if you're Lucky Or you have the Bucks to Pay. Our Schools are in Shambles Both literally and not Maybe a Lost Generation Of, the best we have got. Not enough Flu Vaccine Drugs that might make you Die The Profits more Important Than the likes, of You and I. They say they Care about us But that isn't what they Mean It's seems one way or the other We'll get caught in between. They talk of Peace and Love About the Young and the Old They say we're Better and Safer Though some go Hungry in the Cold. The bottom line, the Dollar And the Lies, that once rang True It's time we all saw the Answers Asked by the likes, of Me and You. As long as the ol' “R & D” And the other Corporations Can sell us out to the World Of those other needy Nations. As long as the Oil flows And there's Ozone in the Air With Lobbyists to Pay the bills We're the only ones who'll Care. If we don't make some changes In this Homeland of the Free One day there won't be any more Of the likes, of You and Me!
