Less Wealth for the Rich and War

Tune: When I’m Sixty-Four (Beatles
Gaggle: Seattle
Business & Economy

When I was your age, long years ago

I thought I’d always have

Jobs enough to feed my family and me

Health care Social Sec-ur-ity

Now I see how the economy’s gone

To funding mostly war

Bring those troops home, bring home the money

We know what we want it for!

Losing my job, losing my house

My family’s getting poor

Jobs not there for graduates and older folk

Listen Wall Street it’s not a joke!

No money for schools, no money for homes

Bad for all our health

We see class warfare

With things so unfair

Demand more tax on wealth!
