2009 New President
2009 a year to break through.
As the United States starts a new, with a new leader.
A new voice, so strong, so clear.
Ready to lead, and follow things through.
Out with the old, and in with the new.
He stands so tall, with head held high.
Assuring Americans "We will get by".
Many things are so unclear.
Some people fear disaster is near.
You worry, you wonder, you can`t sleep at night.
Will I still have my home, after night turns to light?
Loans for the companies.
Tax breaks for the more.
Decisions to make.
Groceries or heat?
Gas for the van, or shoe`s for their feet?
Somethings so wrong.
We aren't`t getting help.
To Hell with the banks, they've screwed themselves.
Bonuses to you, raises to him.
What about the lonely poor human man?
People who don`t have a cent, or just barely get by.
Where`s OUR help?
I just want to cry.
