There’s no refuge any more
\nunless your home’s a tower.
\nThe elite just won the war.
\nRich folks have all the power.
\nCorporate tax gifts passed the floor.
\nMedicare may be no more.
\nBillionaires who own estates
\ndance now behind golden gates.
\nThey’ll drill in the arctic, too;
\nsoon be eating caribou.
\nMiddle class will take the hit.
\nMerry Christmas. Eat some shit.
\nDeficit receives a load
\nyouth will pay for down the road.
\nSay goodbye to wildlife parks.
\nLoad endangered onto arks.
\nCountry can’t be great again
\nwhen the wealthy always win.
\nRuling classes don’t play fair.
