LEGITIMIZED ROBBERY

I am the nameless driver of this corporate slave ship

Digging myself further for nothing in this grave shift

Pseudo day-dreaming of giving this place a face lift

I tried to be peaceful, but I’m forced to slander with another obscenity laced gift

I am overqualified and under appreciated

What if I puckered up my lips in this legitimized robbery?

The term American Dream has been outdated

You graduate college, then choose your path to poverty

You cut corners to extend your profits from your greed

I feel like Phoenix, Arizona is watering my seed

I feel like Seattle, Washington when it comes to sunlight

I feel like DC public schools when giving it the attention it would need

My growth is stunted by incompetent copulation

Hopes and dreams given away for free

To robots, sheep, and a third world population

Now, should I bend over in front of Harrisburg and get my master’s degree?

The CEOs seem to last as often as I change ties

They cashed out while going down on Bush on election day

They financed your typical politicians, nothing but promised lies

Some left, mostly right, Bathing in GOP tea, partying the night away

As we grow poorer, working for less and less we are realizing

inflation keeps rising

we look forward to lower wages and continuous downsizing  

tents full of homeless intellectuals on the horizon

We let ourselves become victims of legitimized robbery

The 1% don’t even need a gun

I have since I was sixteen

I force myself through another day, I cannot afford to run
