The belief was that we could survive,
On a financial economy;
But again, that has been proven wrong,
As it has throughout all history.

A nation that relies on money,
Produced by a group of greedy men;
Is doomed to fail as time marches on,
It has happened time and time again.

For without manufacturing,
We produce nothing to survive;
Simply slaves to money changers,
And we believed in all their lies.

We have become such lazy fools,
Reliant on those who create;
Products that used to be made here,
And now we have sealed our own fate.

Our factories are now empty,
Along with our saving’s accounts;
All because we have chosen greed,
Quite the hill that we must surmount !

The hand writing is on the wall,
And the small print is very fine;
America is fixing to fall,
We are now living on borrowed time.

And now it is simple survival,
That’s become the American dream;
Such a sad time in our history,
When was it we lost our self esteem?

“I’m too good to work in a factory,
And I deserve so much better than that;
Why should I even work up a sweat?
I just want to be a rich, fat cat.”

Guess what? Life doesn’t work that way,
And the proof is in the pudding;
Everyone has a job to do,
Or we ALL just become NOTHING !
