Sitting Ducks
There is something wrong,
in this country today,
greed is so strong,
and we are the prey.
Conniving schemes,
developed by some,
seeming quiet innocent,
the damage been done.
Only the best,
some will seek,
knowing good and well,
they can't afford to keep.
Within your means,
simple and nice,
is all that matters,
avoid the high price.
First step back,
take a good long look,
how many bills,
have us hooked?
Borrow again,
we can't keep this up,
broke we are,
repaying will be tough.
Greed, yes greed,
one of the deadly sins,
one nation under God,
forgotten again.
Don't be fooled,
by the passing buck,
open those eyes,
we are sitting ducks.
