Life Today
Life today
Went in welfare office today
So much people of mix races
Some with children lost their jobs
Looks of uncertainty on many faces
Life become so hard for people
All around this world
What kind of future it will have
For them little boys and girl
Remember when recessions
Was a thing of the past
Now it comes back today
Don’t know how long it will last
They say Clinton was bad
How he like plenty women
But when he was president
We had jobs to feed our children
The country had a surplus
And jobs to go to everyday
Then bush become president
And take it all away
After twenty years by enjo
They show you a finger in their hand
Kick you out of the door
With our even a pensions plan
Them they stand up laughing
Without a kind word to say
You know he died in the building
Before he see Christmas day
The electric company
Doubling their rates every year
While everyday people savings
And security slowly disappear
I don’t watch the news again
It’s not good for my health
The leaders says they feel our pain
But they’re basking in wealth
Gas price keep going up
Driving has become a hell
But they try to blame Obama
Like if we cannot tell
A guy can’t pay his gas bill
Asking for a little more time
They escort him out the office
Like he commit a crime
And this is a scenery
Playing in every country
And all they actors
Is you and me
