Them Vs Us

T.H.E.M. (The hellions employing mayhem)
Vs 
U.S. (Useful slaves)
It’s always the same 
The old tired game 
Of them vs us 
Each side making a fuss 
Playing tug of war 
Over the same 
Sad dollar 
“I need more” 
“You’ll take less” 
Each side holler 
Nothing ever changes 
It only gets worse
Our disgusting methods
Are simply a curse 
Our inhumanity towards each other needs to disperse
But I know it’s a dream 
Selfishness is the reign of the insane 
Always looking to lay blame 
It’s the hot potato game 
It’s not us 
It’s them 
So, they say 
Nobody wants to pay 
Greed rules the day 
It’s simply our twisted way 
To lay the blame away 
From our own feet 
You see, misery is such a treat 
To watch others, bow to the elite 
A meeting nobody wants to greet 
Please come in and have a seat 
You wish to rent yourself?
How neat 
I offer less than you need 
I’m here to plant slaveries seed 
You’ll reap what I sow 
And never make 
What you owe 
But then again 
That’s the trick 
To keep you low 
Ya prick 
Here’s my boot 
Take a lick
Watching you struggle 
Is such a kick 
This is really fun 
Watching you run 
Like a rat in a maze 
Blinded by debts haze 
And I am very aware 
I create the misery you share 
I simply don’t care 
But to be fair 
You never really had a pair 
LOL

Eric (and sometimes not)
