ENLIGHTENMENT



My property tax next year came in
They say my house value went up ten percent
Gimme a break old neighbors are living in a tent
They bought their homes with Monopoly dollars
And now it is the banking system that hollers
I built my home for less than a hundred thousand dollars
Now they property tax a half million what scholars
All the home lenders are asking for a bail out
The CEO's are rushing to sell their stocks and shout
"Help me--help I'm losing my two summer homes"
Maybe selling their greed will pay off all the loans
Remember that dude clanking bells yelling, "Buy buy Bye!"
I was the first to recognize the problem a genius am I.
People were buying things putting without money on a card
Figuring out the problem isn't really that hard
But finding a solution I don't trust those who got us into this thing
And paying more inflated taxes will not an end to this bring
I think I will run for President doesn't take much qualification
I'd be as good as any of the candidates to run this nation
Someone has to do something soon time is a wasting
Maybe we should bring property taxes down instead of up
People could afford their homes and soup in the cup
