Gotta get a good job
from the man with the money.
Gotta get a nice car
from the man with the money.
Gotta buy a nice house
from the man with the money.
Gotta get a nice bod
and a whole lot of money.
I gotta spend my life
on what the man with the money wants.
I gotta buy my nights
from the man with the money too.

[CHORUS]
They fly
we fall
these thieves that rob us all
these thieves
that dropped the ball.

They dropped
the ball
'Cause these dreams were bound to fall
These dreams
that bind us all.
[CHORUS]

You know the man with the money
he's always making more money
Got time to figure it out
'cause having money makes money too.
But the man with no money
he never has much money
he's gotta work for his money
much more than the money do.
And the man with the money
controls the man who does everything
because kings are thieves
and thieves are kings again.

[CHORUS]

The man with no money
he don't need no money
'Cause the man with no money
is the man who does everything.
And the man with the money?
If we didn't take his money
then who would build the castle for the king?

[CHORUS..REPEAT]

dafremen We need to instill a sense of working class pride in our children instead of letting people with money prance around in front of them, stirring up envy for shallow lifestyles.

We need to stop letting them teach our kids to be mistakephobes and insecure, bickering idiots or entitled bullies. WE need to teach our children REAL skills again and stop letting the rich design public school curriculums that design our children's minds and abilities for their own selfish ends.

We need to stop sending our best, brightest and most ambitious off to work for the investor class and instead back them in their efforts to support working class customer bases and build small businesses that reinvest in their home communities.

We need to support time banks wherever possible and insist on real hours of either real labor or real skills. (You better be a damned good pilates instructor if I'm going to roof your house for those kind of hours. I'd rather have yard work hours, but that's me.)

We need to make the wealthy feel as unwelcome in our businesses and neighborhoods as they make us feel in theirs. The end result will be higher wages in certain blue collar business sectors as less service providers are willing to cross the "working class line" without substantial compensation. In addition, the flaunting of wealth will continue to decine in popularity until it is considered an embarrassment if anyone but your accountant even knows you HAVE wealth. That should curb the rampant materialsim that has been coursing through our children's brains like a deadly drug.

We need to stop taking their money and take back our dignity, and the days of our lives so we can invest them in a brighter future for us all. Money had a chance to lead.

They blew it.

dafremen I jumped into poverty 18 years ago. Saw it coming, knew it was time to figure out how to survive it and left my career behind. Some people said I'd regret it. They were wrong.

Been figuring it out ever since. The rich keep locking the game down. And as more of the naysayers and richie butt kissers fall into poverty's inevitable grip, the odd jobs and hustles get harder and harder to maintain without watching the hopeless and helpless turn into animals.

Thank gawd for a head start and a poor upbringing.

ego hum sooner than we think, the underclass will be obsolete
We are and will be the first casualties of environmental collapse
Exxonmobil knew the truth and decided
in favor of profit. We are only witnesses to the greatest genocidal crime of all time. Nothing to see here,just move on with our lives.
