Class Warfare II

Rick Snyder, Michigan's newest dick
attacking unions, making me sick
should just smack the shit out of the little prick
but can't get near him, the man is slick

Benton Harbor loses it's park
outlook for that town pretty damn stark
that beautiful beach has been outsourced
making it easy to build the new golf course

Residents can't afford to play
would use up half of their yearly pay
only really one reason for them to stay
to save the fight for another day

Detroit's teachers fired
an emergency financial man hired
so much for the schools that were publicly sired
corporations make cash on the ones acquired

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

Ohio's tea party Kasich
wins with help from the rich
public employees are his bitch
no strikes, no arbitration, you don't have a niche

Public workers can't walk out
no bargaining, the bosses have the clout
no problem, no reason to shout
you're fucked, of that there is no doubt

Chief of staff gets a fifty thousand dollar raise
Kasich does it, doesn't amaze
he's a crook in many ways
all you punks can go out in a blaze

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

Texas governor Rick Perry also says
teachers are the problem with their wicked ways
workers are hostile, end their days
one hundred thousand teachers may be gone, him it doesn't faze

Wage structure pretty fucked up
don't look at it too closeup
the workers have nothing for backup
forty-fourth lowest wages in the states, definitely not a mixup

Three hundred and thirty-five thousand more jobs to be lost
doesn't matter what the cost
tea party bastards are not to be crossed
rich revelers party until they're sauced

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

I am so damn happy not to be living in Maine
where tea party shit Lepage is doing the same
repealing bargaining rights is pretty lame
cutting pension benefits for a little fame

Remove a mural from the wall
that celebrated workers before the fall
Apparently voters dropped the ball
now the state sucks, though the people stand tall

Benefits for state employees he stole
excepting himself in his roll
not doing well in any poll
this is a man without a soul

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

Then there's Florida's Rick Scott
wants the lowest paid teachers in the country to rot
every year they reapply, now they're hot
how'd they elect this failed old sot

Decided that those without a job
their benefits he could easily rob
twelve weeks unemployment for the mob
the dirty little bastard is a real slob

Works hard to keep his own businesses afloat
channeling funds since he got the vote
it's all good for this old goat
just another days work for florida's cutthroat

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare
