Shell Game Redux - Paint It Black

Sweep out the cobwebs & recalibrate the

Currency.

They’re robbing us blind

They’re trimming the fat, and counting every

Calorie.

Can’t you see that they’re robbing

Us blind?

Inveterate invertebrates ingest and

Regurgitate.

They are robbing us blind.

There’s

No convincing explanation for the crumbs on

Your dinner plate

Sharpen the knives and sugarcoat the medicine

Consult your astrologist and be sure to tip the

Weathermen

I know we promised you a dividend…

They steal the bread from our mouths.

They

Steal the air from our lungs

And they steal the ground from under our

Feet.

They will try to steal the words from our

Tongues

DON’T LET THEM
