Damned By the Crown

Welfare's a little
too cheap for their jobs.
Blaming their leaders
whom we would call snobs.

Government money kept
by those higher.
Never sent down
that welfare acquire.

Starved of our money
while taxed to our spite.
Jobs for these hypocrites:
governed in blight.

Wages unfair
for government work.
Salaries so high
they're debts for a clerk.

Power above
that's not coming down.
Money not shared
and damned by the Crown.
