Welfare and affluence Fortune and opulence An economic steady decline Super rich remain confined We've known it all along Our debts they do prolong Cannot discern wants from needs Masticate the hand that feeds Populace, severely depressed Nations problems remained unaddressed Controlled through dominance Held in highest regard Impoverished we discard Upscale slaves, capital gains A society forged from pain Populace, severely repressed Somehow better than all of the rest Controlled through dominance Country or corporation? Manufacturing lives Ignorant to the needs Indigent lay supine Grotesque affiliation From which no one survives No equal chance to succeed The greater part remains deprived Populace, severely oppressed The jurisdiction I have learned to detest Don't count on providence
