The Lyrics
The Middle-Class is decaying into the "Near Poor", riding that fine line of working survival under the Obama Administration's lack of economic solutions and poor leadership at home. Obama seems to care more about foreign policy and taking paid vacations than helping all of us (the 99%) struggling to survive whether working or not.
They drive cars,
Bur seldom new ones
They earn paychecks,
But not too big ones
Half Are married,
Live in the suburbs
Just scraping by,
Their voices unheard
(Chorus)
It’s the “Near Poor”,
51 million strong
Obama promised change,
So WTF went wrong???
They used to make $51k,
Now they avg. $26k less
Wasn’t it President Obama,
Who promised to clean up this mess???
That joker lied,
This was his true test
But hey, he keeps on smilin’
‘Cause that’s what he does best
It’s the “Near Poor”,
51 million strong
Obama promised change,
So WTF went wrong???
If you count the real poor,
Along with the middle class
The number rises to 100 million
How long will this crisis last?
Until Obama is dismissed real fast!!!
It’s the “Near Poor”,
51 million strong
Obama promised change,
So WTF went wrong???
He was elected… and 4 years is way too long!!!
Bur seldom new ones
They earn paychecks,
But not too big ones
Half Are married,
Live in the suburbs
Just scraping by,
Their voices unheard
(Chorus)
It’s the “Near Poor”,
51 million strong
Obama promised change,
So WTF went wrong???
They used to make $51k,
Now they avg. $26k less
Wasn’t it President Obama,
Who promised to clean up this mess???
That joker lied,
This was his true test
But hey, he keeps on smilin’
‘Cause that’s what he does best
It’s the “Near Poor”,
51 million strong
Obama promised change,
So WTF went wrong???
If you count the real poor,
Along with the middle class
The number rises to 100 million
How long will this crisis last?
Until Obama is dismissed real fast!!!
It’s the “Near Poor”,
51 million strong
Obama promised change,
So WTF went wrong???
He was elected… and 4 years is way too long!!!
