They say the economy is booming, so I guess I'm getting rich
But my bank account is low, and my boss a son of a bitch
Getting twelve bucks an hour, he says, so you better not complain
Or I'll find someone to wash them dishes, your career down the drain
Worked thirteen hours yesterday, till my hands look like fins
My old junker needs some tires, but I can't quite fit them in
Some wise guy asked, how I like the health insurance
What's he talking about? Only insurance I got, is that the money runs right out
But the rich are getting richer, their taxes going down
The poor are getting nothing, scratching a living from rocky ground
They say we're lucky for to be employed, but lord, it kinda hurts
Making less than enough at a flat-out run, doing the dirty work
Got an apartment, not much more than a bed
Landlord says your rent's too low, find another place to live
Instead of raising the minimum wage, how about a twenty-six hour workday
Then we'd all work as hard as Congress, wouldn't need a place to stay
Guess I'll vote for Donald Trump again, he understands the working man
Ain't gonna let no job, go to some Mexican
After all, he's a billionaire, he's not nobody's fool
Despite them cheating Dems, gonna keep us free
Still the rich are getting richer, their taxes going down
The poor are getting nothing, scratching a living from rocky ground
They say we're lucky for to be employed, but lord, it really hurts
Making less than enough at a flat-out run, doing the dirty work
Still the rich are getting richer, their taxes going down
The poor are getting nothing, scratching a living from rocky ground
They say we're lucky for to be employed, but lord, it really hurts
Making less than enough at a flat-out run, doing the dirty work
Making less than enough at a flat-out run, doing the dirty work
