The Debt We Pay

Buy now, pay later, Rent to own today. Put it on your card, That's the American way. A nation plagued with debt, A people bound with chains. The majority feel the loss, The rich see all the gains. In the Land of the Free, And the Home of the Brave. A minority is the Master, The rest of us the Slave. As long as we're divided, We'll never see eye to eye. It'll all come crashing down, On that you can rely. Wake up friends and neighbors, Put your differences aside. It's time to stand together, And rebuild our country's pride.
