Why Feed Um

If We Don Need Um-Why Feed Um
 
We do not need to feed -
who we do not need
Every since they yelled
thar's gold in dem dar hills
dars oil in dat der groun
there's
diamons in dat der mine
there is salt in dat mine
ders water in dat well
dars feritle soil on 
dem peoples lan.

Poor people have become 
a means to an end
disposable-dispensable
unemployable
slavery is still a commodity. 

Build new prisons -
keep them on reservations.
Bring in the cheaper workers 
Bring in the desperado's 
and they know how 
to suffer in silence.

These others make to much noise
and these union boys.-unwieldy  
They've had their day-
They've had there say.

There's GMO'S in 
them dar fish  N chickn's
tomatoes and corn..
Feed um fuel ,no more sugar cane-
Syrup from the corn or bust. 
Eat that they mus !
They'll soon be insane,feed um dat;
And other poison food stuff.
 
We don need um -why feed um HUH?
Did I mention we can
now use their pensions..
 
( Song)
 
If you R happy
and you know it
then your
face will surly show it 
if you R happy
and you know it ...say ?
