I just received the foreclosure letter
the foreclosure letter
my God is this really happening
no one is coming to save me
don't they know
if they would start lending money
people would put me to work and
they wouldn't have to foreclose
yeah, I know
there is no one to lend the money too
because we've all been financially abused
and what is a nation to do
shouldn't those who print the money
hold those in charge of it accountable
like they hold us accountable
I'd say in comparison my debt is very small
compared to those who pat each other on the back
and line their pockets
with the money that their monopoly demands from us all
the money has failed us
the government has failed us
the banking system has failed us
nothing left to do but hang our heads and bawl
and try to ignore the devil
offering comfort through vengeance and evil thoughts
today I am strong tomorrow is not here and some have weaker minds
think they'll make the news when they answer the call
I wonder who will be the first to die
and will the murderer become a hero
in the tortured minds
of those put out on the street
by those who charged them usury
what valve will allow the just working man to rise
the cap is rusted the machine is busted
blood will surely flow
when the pressure causes the tank to blow
like a lunatic moon's incoming tide
go ahead, repo a few thousand more homes
then go home and kiss your wife
and let her know
that when they come in to say hello
you'll be saying good bye
to the cruel world that you helped build
with your career and your time
think your going to heaven
we don't want your kind
because heaven is full of the ones you abused
and you belong in the dog eat dog
for this is house of refuge
and we need refuge from likes people like you
take my home and God will take yours and what can you do
some one has to pay the devil
because he is just like you
