“Entitlement meant you worked your asses off
No big ‘bailouts’ at the corporate trough”
"Entitle Meant"
by Raymond Nat Turner
Entitlement meant you worked your asses off
Like a guide dog trained by Pavlov
Entitlement meant drippin' pearls of sweat
No Swiss Bank Account, yacht, or Learjet
Entitlement meant you worked your asses off
No big "bailouts" at the corporate trough
Entitlement meant slavin' nine to five
Not that bankster "too big to fail" jive
Entitlement meant livin' hand-to-mouth
Like in the "right to slave" South
Entitle meant terribly skewed ratio--
Of 400:1 pay, worker to CEO...
Entitle meant more fiscal hanky-panky--
Tiny Tim Geithner-Osama Ben Bernanke
Entitle meant parasites makin' their bones
Off derivatives and sub-prime loans
Entitle meant bribes for political actors--
Cost overruns of klepto-contractors
NO to the "fiscal cliff" and other shams
Of extortionists runnin' Madoff scams!
