I'm working on a new song for May 1st. Or whenever.

The Rich Are Just Not Rich Enough

Verse:
The rich are just not rich enough,
That's why we'll mine our parks for coal.
That's why we must defund the arts,
Our health, our rights, our earth, our soul.

The tax they think is "way too high"
Is sparsely paid in any case.
The representatives they buy
Well represent their wealthy base.

Chorus:
The rich are just not rich enough!
That principle guides our new laws,
Amassing wealth among themselves
They're never satisfied,
They're never satisfied!

Verse:
The rich are just not rich enough,
That's why not everyone can vote.
To do so poses too much risk.
We can't afford not to promote

The well earned income of the rich,
So well earned that they must earn more.
Their labor is more worthy than
The worker's labor in their store.

Chorus

Verse:
The rich are just not rich enough
That's why we now have endless war.
That's why we pay for both sides' arms
And pocket dollars caked in gore.

The rich are just not rich enough,
It's not enough that they are rich,
All others must as well be poor -
Including those who once were rich.
