Overnight Billionaire's

overnight billionaires
our money is missing
our pockets are empty 
our labours are so cheap
our doctors can't even 
attend to us any more
no medicine no money
our schools are closed
our streets are dirty 
our dreams are dieing
just for politicians
acts of greed

overnight billionaires
our shadow can speak 
but now it muted
if not it will never exist 
our loyalty is a necessity
if not we will be far gone
our quest don't count 
and if it should then there 
is a force 
the young don't grow 
the old are leaving us
with out no benefit 
our teachers are 
so poor 
all this exist just 
because some men 
were too too ambitious
with out a heart 

overnight billionaires
poverty every were 
hardship all over the towns
in our third world's
confusion in our homes 
confusion in our hearts
hopelessness now a trend 
disappointment is our reward
after all our trust and support
we are only but just numbers 
they got no sight for us 
either do they include us
in their vision
so there mission are clear
and obvious 
guess why suddenly
in our grievous deepest
moment they sims 
too satisfied as they turn 
overnight billionaires

overnight billionaires
they are rich 
we are poor 
they are corrupt
we are the victims
they are evil
we pay the price 
they are never satisfied
we are their extortion
they are not for us 
we are not for them 
our country is their
privileges to steal 
we are there chance
of an ill gotten wealth
is obvious there is 
no other way 
if not for the sake
of our suffering
how come Suddenly
they turn 
overnight billionaires
