Middle class, mortgage foreclosures, struggling paycheck to paycheck... the plight of 80% of working families... while the rich, the powerful, the ones who know how to play capitalism well...well, it works for them. Meanwhile, what's Congress doing to help?....
Your neighbor's never home these days
He works three jobs so that he can pay
The mortgage, school and then two cars
We always knew that he'd go far
His wife is pregnant with their fourth
'Çause Row v. Wade was overturned in court
The banks won't lend him what he needs
His credit score's too low it seems
He's got no way out He's in a jam
From bank collectors And Uncle Sam
It's medication or his heart will stop
When he's relaxing at the park
He didn't plan this
He's worked so hard so long
No one will help him
'çause he's in default
Chapter Eleven is on his mind
He'll go to bed tonight but he won't sleep
Everyone's so proud of Frank
He's got a good position at the bank
His bonus check was $1.3m
He made a fortune for his company
He works foreclosures He's so good at it
He's got no neighbors Up or down his street
Those empty mansions
He watched them all move out
Their jobs were taken overseas
And that's the way it goes
They want you on your knees
You lose your job, car, house and family
But it all works out on their bottom line
They call it fleecing the economy
I found a way out
I just won't play their game
And I won't listen to their false campaigns
The House and Senate work for lobbyists
They always take good care of Big Business
