Of all the things in life I see 
We've lost our faith in society 
On any given daily basis 
We find ourselves in stasis 
Politicians spend without thought 
Embellishing themselves until caught 
Government waste is at an all time high 
Determined to screw the little guy 
No matter how much they tax and tax 
The regular citizen always seems to get the axe 
Taking and taking is all the bureaucracy knows 
Every single time its at the expense of those 
That try so hard to make ends meet 
Only to suffer  with monetary defeat 
Someday soon, it will happen to them 
When no longer can they spend our money, on each of their whims 
But, till that wondrous day does come about 
We'll be stuck bailing them out!
