Welfare Recipients

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Who are the biggest recipients of the institution of public assistance? Who's bled the taxpayers of countless funds since our welfare system's existence? What group has always been the biggest freeloading welfare whore? Our leaders claim single mothers, minorities, immigrants and the poor So they've cut the funding to all of these groups while real recipients hide Telling the public that by their actions they've eliminated the free ride They're going to have to work or starve, there's no way left to cheat No chance of generous government handouts except for the corporate elite [Chorus] What was given to single mothers didn't compare With the amount of money given for corporate welfare When the option is companies or people, who are we going to feed? Cut the corporate welfare, no more suffering for their greed [Verse 2] What they've tried to keep a secret, and what do we need to understand? Is that the welfare system wasn't meant to lend a helping hand? It's just another government safety net to help the rich succeed Prioritizing aid on a scale of power instead of actual financial need Are they so concerned with our welfare that they're taking children off it? To give money to corporations, so the helping hand can share the profit While people are cited as statistical scapegoats in an effort to confuse Every one of us has paid the price for the welfare corporations use [Chorus] What was given to minorities didn't compare With the amount of money given for corporate welfare When the option is companies or people, who are we going to feed? Cut the corporate welfare, no more suffering for their greed [Verse 3] Are we as a people as naive that we believe their helping hand is sincere? Devouring our social programs, they've made their intentions crystal clear Our survival doesn't compare with the need for corporate dominance Stealing food from the mouths of people, with an inflated sense of self-importance The trusting, obedient taxpayers are being fucked by their politicians Paying for the privilege of being robbed by a system that never listens If they're genuinely trying to relieve the burden with all the cuts they've made Then why didn't their cuts include the funds provided for corporate aid? [Chorus] What was given to immigrants didn't compare With the amount of money given for corporate welfare When the option is companies or people, who are we going to feed? Cut the corporate welfare, no more suffering for their greed
