Economy Sucks
My credit cards are maxed a plenty
The mortgage payment was due last week
The electric company came with warning
My future now, it looks quite bleak
My work, they won’t advance me money
The corporate bigwigs hoard and lie
They have no thoughts for those with families
They wouldn’t care if I lived or died
They just want the work then finished
And need not know how it’s attained
However, they do watch the P and L sheets
So they can see the cash they’ve made
And I, well, I will make the phone calls
I will get from Peter, to pay Paul
I just so hope it does not catch up
I’d hate to see my house then fall
