False Representatives

We send them forth To speak for us So we think They run off in haste They don't look at us They don't speak for us They don't remember us They don't want to see us Nothing solid is contained in them Like empty drums making the loudest bangs Their pay must be trippled they say And to the banks run when it is paid Like round cooking pot With time, their bellies become Once looking like us But now their skin shines When we knock on their doors Wild dogs they become and bark at us Like electricity they spark And order us out See our representatives We thought would represent us They feed on our money And their flesh puffs out They eat and grow fat And leave us in lack They speak and and grow tired Oh! How they crave for air You should watch them sleep They grunt and snore And their women cover their ears In sparkling cars they pass Splashing dirt on us With time this will pass We hope and pray.
