The American Dream

The American Dream is dead indeed A victim of American Greed Trickle down they said we’d try Then proceeded to suck us dry The One Percent seeking thrills Living large in Beverly Hills Paying minimum wage even though it kills And the middle class can’t pay their bills Infinite growth is just a dream Some would call it a Ponzie Scheme Leveraged living by the way Selling tomorrow to pay for today On this you surely can depend Certain destruction in the end Time will pass it’s always the same Just the same old political game Some other fool will take the blame Absolving us of our Great Shame As always the best government money can buy Politicians ready and eager to comply Super PACS no need to balk The Supreme Court ruled money talks Citizens United paved the way Now Plutocrats will have their sway Most will suffer a few will play But in the end we all will pay The greedy deeds of Kleptocrats Both Republicans and Democrats Business as usual the same old malarkey Democracy taking us to Oligarchy But be of stout heart and have no fear Climate change is already here And in the end it will be clear Sooner or later we’ll all disappear
