Ground into dirt
A gift passed down
Through generations
Human waste from Europe
Sent to a 'new world'
Your founding fathers
Believed you were scum
Wrote the laws
To hold you down
Can't afford to wait for a good deal
Can't afford the fine or legal cost
Can't afford to study
Can't afford to hold out for another dollar a day
While we fight for air
The 1% feed on the froth
Accumulation of privileges
Rolling over poverty
Riding waves of self destructive behaviour
Waves of desperation in a global under class
