In a land of fat and waste , it's the vial secretions of you that i taste.
Cholesterol milkshakes to wash down your mouthful of hypocrisy.
Shoving dollar bills up fat asses while another starves overseas!

Who is the gears that keep a nation running . ."why it's the man with no dimes."
Who's given a rifle and told watch for the cunning . ."why it's the man with no dimes."
Who's lifestyle do you use for your amusement . . ."why it's the man with no dimes."
Who is there for mechanical improvement . . ."why it's the man with no dimes."
When your system fails and all your gigabytes leave you in the dark and the cold who will have the lantern to hold . . ."why it's the man with no dimes."
So while you loathe in your greed and waste remember that often simplicity leaves a better taste.

flew from above
She wanders, lost and reeling
In a place she once called home
She wonders why she's feeling
So unloved, so alone
She has a loving
