Take the $ and run

CEO's take the $ and run.
Politicians run and take the money.
The little man who works for the $
has all his $ taken.

In God they trust
and banks they bust
the Penn and Tellers
helped the sellers.

The President urged with depravity
to invest in the stock market
for your social security
to help their own slippery budget.

God fearing employees lost more than money.
They fell for the oldest game in the book.
Emporers of greed in Christian robes were funny.
They kept saying Clinton was an immoral crook.

In 8 years we almost climbed out of a hole.
Now we are twice as deep as we were before.
Lieing to you about the BIG things is now the goal.
Now you know that you are the corporate whore.

Little guys die for the patriot game
The big dogs only honor cash
Cheated of prosperity and life
in God we trust in the USA are promises made of ash.

Hi there Donuel, how you doing?

You wouldn't expect me to leave without commenting on your rhyming structure, so I have to ask

Depravity - security ???? Market - budget ????

Hard-hitting stuff nonetheless ...

Good one, Donuel!

Then there's:
"Come on, take the money, Enron..."

the edited ending:

Laws are bought with corporate hype.
The big dogs honor money.
The pious who cheat you of $ and life
believe "in God we trust" is funny.

It's treason to trade self evident truth for cash.
Corporate looters and sleeping non voters feel no shame.
The Bill of Rights have turned to ash.
while the young die for the patriot game.
