These daze its not uncommon
my dinner consists of some top ramen.
A mandatory vegan diet
I still like meat but cannot buy it.
Im a poor simple man but not by choice
I pray to God for a Rolls Royce.
why yes its true Ive lost some weight
no secret diet just empty plate.
times are tough thats for sure
ketchup and water....todays soup du juor
I only want the American dream
instead a nightmare and I cant afford to scream
Its a shame and quite unpleasant
from middle class to lowly peasant
my future mortaged past repossessed
to pull myself up by my bootstraps I am obessed
be patient and work hard im told
by idle folks that possess the gold
so many of them so corrupt
look down thieir nose at me since Im bankrupt
they say be grateful with what you get
I feel like a fisherman with a hole in his net
to the curb in the gutter but face up
my cup not runnuth over...I have no cup.
as i chase the elusive buck
one things for sure this recession sucks!
