Business As Usual in America

Missionaries travel to Haiti while
I see plenty of poor people here

Athletes worry about the next paycheck
While their life savings are being thieved

Politicians try to get elected
To jobs involving never ending campaigns
They owe they owe
Off to Washington they go

Clerks are forced to become salespeople
Trying to sell me something other than change and a smile
(No thanks)

All I ever wanted is thousands of miles away
I can't afford to go and get it

For today/tonight/tomorrow

Don't let them forget the real percentage
Of you and you and you
And who we are
