Rich Men North of Richmond

Hope It is not too political for open forum. Out of nowhere but all that matters is that he tells it the way some of us feel.

There is a better place for this but everybody should see this.

Sorry, it's gone. Dog knows better.

"Rich Men North Of Richmond"

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare

Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay

 

[pute]

Interesting lyrics. Ok by me.

Cool poem

Like the song brother. I think a lot of us feel that way. Gotta copy that song and put it in FB.
As long as we don't have political names or pictures of political figures mentioned, I think we will be okay. Just have to be careful because some ppl don't like opinions.
Just remember we do have a thread for such things if you think it might go over the line.
I sometimes get mad and push the line but that's just being human. Good thing is I can clean it up.

 

[WeedHopper]

Okay I just posted it on my FB page.

 

[WeedHopper]

It's true I do.

Dog ya fker. You know where that other thread is. Gonna have to put you in the cage with no water.

Kevs post will be fine. It doesn't mention names or anything. I still want other members to be able to participate in conversations about hard times and such and express their feelings.We just can't allow it to turn to far right or left.
I just don't wanna hear anybody talking shit about the current or past President. That can cause problems that we don't need.
Lots of ppl are unhappy no matter who they support.
I know gas prices are fking to high because I travel a lot.

See it is always the 2nd guy that gets in trouble. At least that is what I just told my granddaughter. 9 years old and already she would have none of it.
