The Rich Get Richer the Poor Get Poorer

They know all the loop holes for the IRS Elaborate parties, tuxedoes and women in their 5,000 dollar dresses A cardboard box, another statistic for the homeless A corporate exec did a downsize today The car repossessed, the house taken away Sometimes reality is a person's real life movie of horror The rich get richer, the poor get poorer Some have never known to go to sleep without a meal Our government turns a blind eye does not want to see what's real America's rich worried about the homeless overseas The poor get spitted in their faces by those wealthy celebrities A billionaire wouldn't even foot the taxes for the cars she gave away Never forget where you came from, you may have to return there someday All the rich have a gold key to the IRS's back door They know all the loop holes for the IRS Elaborate parties, tuxedoes and women in their 5,000 dollar dresses A cardboard box, another statistic for the homeless A corporate exec did a downsize today The car repossessed, the house taken away Sometimes reality is a person's real life movie of horror The rich get richer, the poor get poorer Some have never known to go to sleep without a meal Our government turns a blind eye does not want to see what's real America's rich worried about the homeless overseas The poor get spitted in their faces by those wealthy celebrities
