A comparison between the social classes. |
We have used our sweat and tears To show progress today Our blood, sweat, and tears Make us who we are today This working class of man Striving for a measly dollar As it's value everyday Grows ever so smaller. Not like those who are wealthy The rich is what they're called Although their unhumbled lives Have nothing truly rich at all. Their family is fragile, broken By the men on dollar bills. Their worries remain unspoken As they drive prosches in the hills. We've found a place right here In a suburbia of sorts Yes, we've found a place right here Away from the evils that contort. This middle land, this haven Has streched this dollar so far It'll send the kids to college And buy us a dog and car. No, not like those who are wealthy The insecure is what they're called They buy every new little toy Knowing their money will never fall. To compensate for love They buy "toys" like bemers and yachts They're worries remain unseen As they play with what they've bought. We made this shelter here Out of cardboard and paper We created a shelter here It's all we could have prayed for To fall short, of that line My dollar can't even buy bread We need something to be fine, So we can be fed. No, not like those who are wealthy The men who are rich and insecure. They're lives may seem better But they're minds are so unsure To spend it all without thought Of those who are in need. Shows us they are shallow, and insecure And visualizes they're immoral greed. Let the classes of man Be only guidelines of income Let these shackles of man Show us what we come from. We came here seeking change Not ignorance, not plight Let the dollars show our brains And let equality shine bright |
