spare a dime

Spare me a dime
Bare faced no nonsense thievery
Going on under you nose
A trillion dollars just to bail out the rich
It’s gonna dig you deeper into your hole

The pretence of concern on their faces
Turns to smiles behind the closed door
They’ve just taken away your future
And you won’t see that anymore

You just paid to decimate the poor
You just sanctioned their next phase of war
It was the only excuse they needed
Your last piece of self respect conceded

Hey there buddy can you spare me a dime
Can you offer some compassion to me?
This dust bowl is choking my thought
I used to think this was the land of the free
How the hell did it come to this?
We’re just slaves to money power and greed
How did corporate killers and thieves
Become the single self dominant creed

You just paid to decimate the poor
You just sanctioned their next phase of war
It was the only excuse they needed
Your last chance to get off your knees conceded

So keep your love ones close
And you debts to a minimum
And God help the old folk
Cos they’re rewriting the rule book
Making new contingencies
Of acceptable losses
From future power obscenities
