Patriotic Poverty
By John Morgan
https://soundcloud.com/jmpianomusic

Put on your green jersey, we're all in this together
The developers that defaulted on their loans feel this as much as you
VOTE YES
Dissent is unpatriotic, stop asking questions
we know what's best for you, VOTE YES

*We'll all die if we vote no
Just because we haven't created any jobs yet doesn't mean we won't
More taxes to stimulate the economy
Private debt no thanks, we'll all by fine.
So we partied, we're turning the corner
Green shoots of recovery
Fundamentals of the economy are sound
Sounds like we've beaten the recession
The rest of it doesn't know where to go
Coz we've won and it's done
And don't tell the people things they don't need to know
Don’t tell the people things they need to know

But I’m a liar, yes I’m a liar

Going forward to where we are sidestepping things and other stuff
Always on the lookout for the rocky shores of good times
Spinning towards the future while referencing the past
Remembering the boys of 1916 who fought and Vinegar Hill
Shut. Up. Sit. Down.

Repeat * (2x)
