The Middle Class Is Getting Screwed

(album: The Old Sound - 2022)

We're overworked and overstressed in our nation
While our senator goes on vacation
I'd like to have them come on sit on my tailgate
Ask him why he's kicking my friends in the face

The rich got theirs the poor's got welfare guess who's going to screwed
I'm up at five asleep by midnight working like a fool
Our money ain't offshore it's mom and pop stores in old church pews
Why is the middle class the ones that all get screwed

Try to raise up our kids with respect
While our country is getting further into debt
We don't teach hardwork just self-esteem in a social justice cost
Tried getting off the couch try following the law

The rich got there's the poor got welfare guess who's going to get screwed
I'm up at five asleep by midnight working like a fool
Oh, money ain't offshores it's moms and pops an old church pews
Why is the middle class the ones that all get screwed

We're treading water while congress gets a raise
And if they had our jobs they wouldn't last a day
And daddy got a laid off last year we're praying things pick up
Because congress ain't the one that make the payments on his truck

The rich got theirs the poor got welfare guess who's going to get screwed
We're up at at five asleep by midnight working like a fool
I ain't had a damn vacation since corona first came through
Why is the middle class the ones that all get screwed
Why is the middle class the ones that all get screwed
