saturday's song
grey days and grey times
country falling apart
millions jobless, homeless
daggers through the heart
of america
smiley people on tv
selling things
that no one needs
in their home
but thank god
they cured
restless leg syndrome
land of opportunity
they come from wide and far
working hard, got a job
living in their car
opportunity wasn't lost
it was stolen
all that money wasn't lost
on stocks and bonds
don't you see
it was stolen
from you and me
somebody has got it
and they ain't giving it back
jack
preachers speaking of a god
that they don't believe in
money changers in the temple
exchanging souls
for dollars
happy saturday to you too

Excellent! I can "hear" you performing this--you fucker! your timing, as usual is impeccable!("jack")
I can hear a spooky minor blues thing going on behind this, with slowed-down "Ringo" drums.
Great stuff, Ronno! Wished it didn't need to be written, but this distills a whole lot of pissed-off in a short burst. Keep 'em coming
Peace,
SM
