You ask me why at times I look angry

Why is it that I wear a frown,

Maybe it’s because I decided to visit

The places within my home town,

Where people are finding it hard

Simply, to buy enough food to eat,

And we see laying around us

People living rough out on the streets,

You ask me why it is that I am sad

Well it’s not always been this bad,

So why would I be happy

When I know that we’ve been had,

By the government and corporations

Who are getting wealthier, doesn’t it make you mad?

Sucking off of the life blood

Of the wages that we are paid,

And the taxes we’re forced to pay,

And yet nothing seems to change,

It seems that we the people, are always he ones to blame,

For the state of our economy,

And for the mess that is our society,

Of which our government takes

Absolutely no responsibility,

The greedy corporations and media even less

And even though we have no control,

Apparently it’s all our fault,

But it doesn’t matter who you vote for

Whichever way you’re caught,

Because they’re all the same in one way

They will all force us to pay,

Not the bankers with their bonuses

Earning ten times above a nurses wage,

It’s a twisted situation

In a truly twisted age,

This is something politicians won’t address

And there’s a simple reason for this,

It’s because if you know anything

You know these these billionaires are greed obsessed,

And they’ll use us all to earn more

While ensuring that we are paid less.

So you ask me why I am angry

You ask me why I wear a frown,

It’s because I am not happy

With what you’re doing to our cities and towns

And why would we be happy

Being ruled by a greedy bunch of clowns.
