Building Back Better

Our infrastructure is so fucked up, we got backed up and now we look jacked up.
Highway systems looking crazy, our construction workers appear lazy.
Politicians rob us and they say repay, we need to replay the minutes and buy our country back.
President B lately saying building back is better, but with who's damn cheddar.
To make the world better we need to get our infrastructure top of the class.
Dwight D Eisenhower, backed by military power, laid concrete to assist our superpower.
We need to repeat and get to laying new pipe continuing to climb the tower of enlightenment.
Our water systems are pumping nonsense yet they expect you to pay rent.
Let me vent, who spent tax payer money and who threw threw in.
Tipping the scales to a fair tax would make the super rich pay their weight  in gold.
Social security got drained while they evade taxes in different brackets.
Investing in infrastructure can produce eagles who soar high, but they lied.
They threw in less while they got blessed,  placing too much stress on the working class.
Now they forecast inflation placing blame to last and bless the first.
I choose to keep ten toes down in the dirt while we work on the future's turf.
They can't keep the working class blinded too much longer.
We grow stronger while we sponsor a new monster.
