lyrics

The Rich Are Getting So much Richer Now
The Poor Are Getting Poorer by the hour
The Middle Class will Slowly Bite the Dust
Their Dreams of Gold Turned into Rust
Those Stimulus Checks: A Fantasy
They Sent ‘Em Out to Fool Us Hastily
They said, “Be Patient, Keep on Playin’ the Game
And Everything Will Soon Be ‘Just The Same’”—NO!!

CHORUS
CARES ACT: three-trillion-dollar scam
For Corporations, Banks, and Finance Man
The richest got huge tax breaks
for a decade
That money should have gone to feed
Millions of people now in need
Stimulus money’s gonna soon expire
Who’ll pay workers for hire?

They propped up zombie companies
Whose Business Models couldn't make the change
There’ll be NO CLOSE-CONTACT anything
The Future’s Got: BRAND-NEW RULES
Say Goodbye to CROWDED factories
meat-packing plants, spaces where you meet
conventions, churches, Berlin discotheques
schools and clubs They’re all obsolete

CHORUS
We need eternal fiscal cushion now
For the millions who are struggling, true
When people starve, they turn to crime
What CAN they do?
They gave bailouts to corporations who
STILL fired millions, threw their jobs away
The bosses hid the money away
For a Sunny Day!

The U.S. used the Covid crisis to
benefit mainly just the Super-Rich
Turned most tax-payers into fools
A gross misuse of our government
The stimulus was to keep alive
Workers who Need to survive
It turned out that was just a lie
We need SOLUTIONS not Pie in the Sky
