Cup Full of Dimes

Too many snipers climbing up trees

Too many mothers brought to their knees

Too many families with children to feed

Too many loners with no one to please

Too many gamblers run out of luck

Too many profiteers grabbing the buck

Too many novices running amuck

Too many horses needing the whip

Too many reporters reading a script

Too many in DC taking the fifth

Too many others in on the grift

Too many pickups carrying signs

Too many fighters taking a dive

Too many words that cut and divide

Will you look the other way

And then hope for better times

While someone else takes the heat

For your long list of crimes

Will you look to make your name

While water around you climbs

Will you ask for a receipt

For your cup full of dimes

For your cup full of dimes

Too many sycophants kissing the ring

To many potted plants bowing to kings

Too many who would rather maintain

Too many voices circling the drain

Too many disenchanted hatching schemes

Too many truth-tellers turned into memes

Too many Marjorie Taylor Greene's

Too many snakes in the fountain of youth

Too many lies masquerading as truth

Too many lawmakers ignoring the rules

To many guns on their way into schools

Too many anchors with a book to promote

Too many bankers who call in their note

Too many small men who need a bigger boat

Will you look the other way

And then hope for better times

While someone else takes the heat

For your long list of crimes

Will you look to make your name

While water around you climbs

Will you ask for a receipt

For your cup full of dimes

For your cup full of dimes

Too many hypocrites preaching the Bible

Too many Senators held for libel

Too many people hiding underground
