Daily Song

Are the Morbidly Rich Sabotaging the Very System that Made Them Rich?

Are the rich tearing down the dream? Making it harder for us all to succeed?

Verse 1:

They climbed the ladder, reaching so high,

Built their fortunes under an American sky.

But now they’ve pulled that ladder away,

Leaving the rest of us in disarray.

Raw capitalism, ruthless and cold,

The strong survive, while the weak lose hold.

They’ve locked the gates, no room to grow,

While we’re left struggling down below.
