Burn Down The House
47,000 factories shut down
over the last decade in America....
we still export more oil than
we import....
there's not a damn stitch
of clothing in my closet
that reads 'Made In America'...
you tell me!
it used to be you worked
and fought like hell to send
your kids to college....
now, dont worry about it,
they'll end up in prison
with all the unemployed teachers.
and the gulf between the elite
and the rest of us grows deeper.
send your kids off to war,
cut social security, and medicare.
something has to change now!
if we have to burn down the house,
and rebuild it from scratch....
so be it!
we cant go on like this!
