Array ( [sid] => 148548 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Bear Market Massacre [time] => 2009-03-17 11:47:34 [hometext] => Upon ending a Rage Against the Machine binge, me listening to the band for about three hours straight over my friend's house, I wrote this RATM inspired poem/song on the way home...yeah.. [bodytext] => Get back, turn to the wind, sun and rain
Let all the oil go and run down the drain
700 billion in blood, sweat and tears
The stimulus pokes' supposed to feed all our fears
And those CEOs buy their man made islands
While just to get food some turn to violence

I'll tell you something, you've got it made
Cause the bear market massacre drives us insane!

Just sit and let your trust funds grow
While a father sits on old death row
Your stocks may rise and fall all day
While a son is lowered into a grave

Sit back, and get your dinner from intrest
While a mother's wages are cut and diminished
You go on a vacation cause you think you need it
Whole a daughter prints food labels and can't even read it
You wake up, shower, and eat your breakfast
While a drug dealing boyfriend get arrested

You'll tell you what, you're all the same
And this bear market massacre makes me insane!

Just sit and let your trust funds grow
While a father sits on old death row
Your stocks may rise and fall all day
While a son is lowered into a grave

This bear market massacre drives us insane
While the rich old businessmen continue their reign!!

This bear market massacre drives me insane
While the rich ole businessman continues his reign!! [comments] => 2 [counter] => 205 [topic] => 6 [informant] => HERO [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 19 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )
