Bureaucracy (Lament of a Baby Boomer)




 You work all your life.
You work long and hard.
You spent time for your country,
And here's your reward:


Don't be angry, don't be sad,
Cause it's the greatest nation to be had.
They take your wealth, they take your job,
Then arrest you if you join a mob.
They send you letters, build you up,
Then snatch the last dime from your cup.
They steal your clothes and eat your food,
Then ask if you are feeling good.
The medicine they promised you
Is just a fluke. In fact, who knew?
The medical help was a lie, too.
And you thought all was well. Me too.
But now we know. They're all so rude.
The only thing we got was screwed.
