Life in America
Put down that plastic
and step away from the sales counter
Visa is not your friend
Capital One
has a place for you
on the rowing bench
below decks
Your house is in foreclosure
the cost of gasoline
is going up again
and the price of milk and cheese
are not too far behind
Your boss hasn’t told you yet
but your job just went overseas
and the guy
sitting at your desk
is thirty years younger
earns half as much as you
and doesn’t speak English
But your Director
is taking his whole family
to Cozumel for Christmas
on the bonus he got
for cutting expenses
And that my friend
is the price you pay
for voting Republican
