Mayday World
we are afraid
we are underpaid
minimum wage
has put us all at prison gates,there is no safe financial aid
for the working poor
they make sure we can,t get through the door
mortgages get all our pay
our life;s are in a dismay
credit lead us astray
hidden rates ,late fees,
banks will not sway
government let,s it be
the world is in a mayday
it,s time to raise
minimum wages
everything else has increased
raise the wages and freeze
the late fees, high interest rate
free us from this robbery
we are calling now for decreases
eliminate and open the gates
we had no choice
we could not survive
now they are causing people there lifes , it has to stop
