The Trickle Down Blues

They said give us a tax break

And we'll give you all jobs

The money will come back to you

It will rain down from the clouds

So we gave them the money

And they hid it all away

And they outsourced the jobs

And they're still laughing today

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

Once I had a house

But the bank took it away

They kept raising the payments

Until I just couldn't pay

I called the bank for help

But they just hung up the phone

Now I'm headed for a rental

On the poor side of town

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle dow

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

There ain't no jobs nowhere

We've searched both high and low

But bankers still get bonuses

And we're headed skid row

But the times are a changing

Ain't gonna take no more

They'll be millions of us marching

And we'll knock right on their doors

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down
