Thieves in High Places

 

Too many bills falling on my floor

Surely their for the house next door

I cant take no more of Junk mail trash

Try sending Me a little more cash

I can't afford to pay though I've tried

I  think the vendor openly lied

Didn't even Vote? It seems a Hoax

All my dreams going up in smoke

Those thieves in high places

with smiles on their faces

Don't care how the little guys

 cant afford their changes and lies

No one seems to keep promises

So many dishonest Accomplices

Too many bills falling on my floor

Just cant take it "I don't need no more"

I Hope the post gets stopped in it tracks

Figured I'm getting stabbed in the back

These thieves with so much in shiny black coffers

Keep sending me tokens and lots of offers 

Cant take no more of this trash

Harsh facts for cold hard cash

Stripping me bare with nowhere to hide

Cant even afford a cheap catalogue Bride

Those thieves in high places

with smiles on their faces

Don't care how the little guys

 cant afford their changes and lies

I get upset and angry too 

Nothing left still stood in a queue

My poultry sum of pension money

Not joking Man it just aint funny

Telling Me to manage without

Taking the piss Their is no doubt

What part of broke and got no money?

 Do they not understand ? "Its no longer funny"!

And why the silence?  choosing  to ignore

"Once I pay My rent " Fact is I'm poor

Cant take no more of this trash

Harsh facts for cold hard cash

Stripping me bare with nowhere to hide

Cant afford a cremation if I die

Those thieves in high places

with smiles on their faces

Don't care how the little guys

 cant afford their changes and lies

The  prices go up but I'm coming down

The cost of living have beaten me down

Cant afford to live, Cant afford to die

I guess I will laugh before I cry

Cant take no more of this trash

Hard facts and cold hard cash

Stripping me bare with nowhere to run

Cant even afford T,V so I'm done

Doldrums doldrums doldrum doll

Throw those dice and watch them roll

Maybe a Six or even a One

End the pain with a smoking gun

Those thieves in high places

with smiles on their faces

Don't care how the little guys

 cant afford their changes and lies

Dolldrums Dolldrums Dolldrums Doll

Kiss those dice and watch them Roll
