Analysis of Economy
We travel this Earth for just a short time,
We toil over every nickel and dime.
Bills are getting higher and the days are so long.
The dollar is weak and no longer strong.
Where oh where did this country go wrong?
Our economy is a bust and there's no one to trust.
The bailout is for the rich and oh not us.
Congress has no words to end this human suppression,
But I can tell them one word of citizen expression.
DEPRESSION! DEPRESSION! DEPRESSION!
We are drowning in this RED SEA.
Help us the people and hear our plea.
Give each citizen "One Million" to save our Economy!
There are way less than 8 billion citizens in the U.S.A.
We will not keep it or hoard it for another day.
Yes, we will spend it for it's the American way.
PLEASE! hurry and do it forth haste,
we don't have anymore time to waste.
