Dick Rockets to Mars
if I was a billionaire
I wouldn't be for long
would give it away
starting with homeless veterans
that's why I don't understand
being so cold
acting like its money to hoard
do they even see the starving kids?
or single mothers with 3 jobs?
no, they rather look down on them
like they aren't trying hard enough
smashing fist into their dignity
rubbing salt in the wounds
while vacationing in paradise
with no sympathy
on the contrary
they hate the poor for making them uncomfortable
how dare they ruin their day
with such poverty
then we have these celebrities
ones who claimed to grow up hard
now they're bitching about higher taxes
like they're the victims
how can someone that hustled for money
act like the snobs they used to hate
if that is what money does
then keep the cash
rather have my humanity
1% can save the world
instead they rather waste it on yachts
houses, and sluts at the club
don't get me wrong
I'm ok with someone living wealthy
just wish they'd realize
there are others who got them there
from workers to customers
they all play a part
acting so high and mighty
while the world is crumbling
least we can count on the rich
to build dick rockets to mars
