Story behind the song
I wrote this after getting tired of listening to paid political ads last fall
Lyrics
Well, the washer’s broke And the rent is due I can cover one But I can’t do two It’s a situation Of the common man Martha Stewart Wouldn’t understand And the TV’s on It’s election time And the politicians Spend a pretty dime And I can’t help wonder With every promise made To receive election What kind of price is paid Because the rich get richer And the poor get poorer And the gap grows wider With every promise made And you tell me some day We’re gonna turn that corner Well we ain’t going nowhere Till the rent gets paid The car won’t run Transmission’s shot The baby’s sick Her little forehead’s hot Ain’t got insurance No triple A But the politicians Promise better days (Chorus) In a land like ours I find it hard see With so much wealth Why there’s so much poverty (Chorus)
