The 2020 Blues
The tough times are never coming
Because already they are here
So get used to children slumming
In the nothing to fear but itself year...
Brought to you by aristocrats
Who transform all worker money
Into the acrid stench of Wall Street scats
Instead of promise land milk and honey.
Get ready for more stairs to climb
And prepare for more demeaning chores
And an overclass to waste your time
And all the effort that profit ignores;
That slice of bread you never get
Chewing on life's sandwich of shit.

Get ready for more stairs to climb
And prepare for more demeaning chores
And an overclass to waste your time
And all the effort that profit ignores;
That slice of bread you never get
Chewing on life's sandwich of shit.
