From the recording Happening: A Movement in 12 Acts
Lyrics
5 - The Middle Class
I don’t understand what was all that money for?
The bailouts and loans
How can they ask for more?
Why couldn’t they give us some
And help us pay the bills
Three thousand for each family
Could cure a lot of ills
I’m glad they saved Detroit
Though I haven’t been there myself
And I guess we’ve got enough
But what about everybody else?
Can it be so hard to work this out
In the greatest land on Earth?
We’ve come too far to lose it now
What is a person really worth?
