Economy
They say we're facing a struggling economy
With the value of the dollar falling businesses outsourcing overseas
To save a few bucks and increase profitability
Relying on our impulse to consume Regardless of the effects it has on personal prosperity
The price of gas is kicking the asses of America's poor middle class
We've been hit hard by that
Coupled with the rising cost of food
Which would be a problem if everyone grew it in their front lawns
So the question is will this ever change
Well change depends on direct action
not avoiding the facts and rejecting Ideologies that make us repeat
mistakes of the past
I have a solution for the struggling economy
Try not to buy anything manufactured in a different country
Purchase your produce from farmers who grow locally
Don't support industries that discourage worker unions
Your children will thank you for having the dignity to say
I've had enough and make at least a little effort
Even if it seems like one person has no influence or power
But that's exactly what they want you to assume
In order to maintain the constant threat of impending doom
Until you're completely convinced the only way out of this fix
Is depending on the elites and their stimulus checks
But I think we just need a little more common sense
With the value of the dollar falling businesses outsourcing overseas
To save a few bucks and increase profitability
Relying on our impulse to consume Regardless of the effects it has on personal prosperity
The price of gas is kicking the asses of America's poor middle class
We've been hit hard by that
Coupled with the rising cost of food
Which would be a problem if everyone grew it in their front lawns
So the question is will this ever change
Well change depends on direct action
not avoiding the facts and rejecting Ideologies that make us repeat
mistakes of the past
I have a solution for the struggling economy
Try not to buy anything manufactured in a different country
Purchase your produce from farmers who grow locally
Don't support industries that discourage worker unions
Your children will thank you for having the dignity to say
I've had enough and make at least a little effort
Even if it seems like one person has no influence or power
But that's exactly what they want you to assume
In order to maintain the constant threat of impending doom
Until you're completely convinced the only way out of this fix
Is depending on the elites and their stimulus checks
But I think we just need a little more common sense
