Governmental Turnaround

No monetary stipend Can justify my time Big brother is still watching And stealing; what a crime My days; time has depleted My nights; too tired, spent I have to work for money To somehow pay the rent With hands now in my pockets And struggling for the green I feel like I am losing You all know what I mean Economy has fallen What’s risen is the cost Of living each, every day While feeling very lost I look over my shoulders Each day while in employ That just causes misery And seldom any joy Seems the money’s running out And soon it will be gone May just have to sell the house And move out on the lawn Government, please work it out The money’s not out there We need your help, right away But do you even care? Unemployment’s at its worst The jobs have fallen short Have to boost economy You have to give support The people of America They serve you tried and true How’d you like it if they then Had turned their backs on you? It wouldn’t be so pretty Now would it, please just think You might end up on the street With clothes that then would stink
