RayfromUSA: What a wise fair observer you are, looking down from your all-seeing star. Your complaint, never ending is so darned condescending you've got Solomon beaten by far.
Yes the boomers had more jobs than you. But that meant lots of hard work to do. And the wealth that they gained is now all being drained. To the vaults of the rich elite few.
Its the boomers who worked every year who financed all your food, pot, and beer but now past working age they're at minimum wage and their real wealth grows smaller each year
Yes the boomers got scammed, that is true And some part of the cost falls on you But, had you been in their place the same choices to face The exact same mistakes you would do.
We humans are often misled and when promised a rosy soft bed we'll ignore all the facts for a chance to relax and embrace strong delusion instead
It's that way for each new generation since the very first day of creation Every one in his turn the same lesson must learn reason ALWAYS falls prey to temptation
The facts will bent to allow for belief in a golden cash cow logic falls by the side if quick profit or pride can be offered right here and right now
If a war can be waged far away it can net several billion each day though there's nothing to gain except sorrow and pain for the folk at the bottom who pay
If you tell folks the planet is dying even though you are blatantly lying you can tax what they do and their wealth comes to you through the credits you're selling and buying
If you're looking for someone to blame. Look to those at the top of the game. For the wealth trickles up and it fills up the cup of the vampires who feed on the lame.

I really wasn't thinking about music when I wrote it I only intended to write a couple of verses but the words just kept coming. I finally managed to slip a big rock over the hole.
