 Harder Times



Day to day, worry is insane
Foreclosures only the rich gain
Insurance increased by a hurricane

Cost are rising times are hard
They cut up my credit card
Young people join the guard

Days are long still pounding the street
Jobs leaving, getting a job is a real feat
Choose between shelter food and heat

While they ask what can we do
Interview after interview
 They say we will call you

Gas is climbing, heating oil too
record profits, what is new?
Is this some sort of Voo Doo?

Don't get sick the budget will break
But the rich for dinner will have steak
Can't they feel how America Aches?

No health insurance
Poverty is endurance
The USA sale a clearance

Where did all the jobs go?
China, India you know
Fair trade agreements blow

One more thought for you
Vote if they let you
Independent, not red, not blue
