Butcher, baker, candlestick maker
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Rub a dub dub or out on the street
Skinhead, pothead, or KKK
What’s on the menu today?
Socialism, religion, taxes and more
Protesting every thing galore
A right to say it, freedom rings
Is all that matters? Or other things
Like poverty, homelessness, and starvation
Plaguing every earthly nation
Health concerns in all locations
Wealth will not redeem salvation
The earth is squeezed in every corner
Come out, little Jack Horner
Blow your horn ever louder
Wake us up! Life’s getting shortened
We need to know what’s important!
