We are the little people...

We are the little people...
Our kids go off to war and die
Seldom know the reason why,
But our House members do know,
For oil and profits they must go,
But their sons get to stay home,
They never have to fight,
While our boys are gone,
Perchance, to lie under a stone.

We are the little people...
Our food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid,
All entitlements
Are cut by our government,
While to the rich man's tax
They benevolently take the ax,
While downsizing our labor forces
Through a system which out-sources.

We are the little people...
But we are the majority,
Let's vote those robber barons out,
For they are the minority!
