Switch Blade
Switch Blade
Sam, come here
lend me your ear
you truly need to listen
both you and your politicians
the banking system has failed us
best get rid of them
people are getting nervous and anxious
and wondering when will this crisis end
everyone deserves a home and something to eat
and what is worse
for a poor man to kill a banker
or for a banker to charge him usury
surely both are sinners
vengence is mine saith the Lord
but on the teeter totter of life
the bankers have risen too high
the poor man is getting very angery
and is no longer impressed their ties
perhaps it's the poor mans turn
the atmosphere has become very volitile
all it would take is one bank to burn
and don't you wonder who will arm them
with words bold and brave
American history is full of great men
who stood up to fight injustice
