Earn a Pay Check


Why does the government pay to support the lazy?

Does one need to drop out of school?

Why not consider the Navy?

Food stamps, housing, it's all a crack.

Don't work, have kids and we've got your back!

I'm young, fresh and about to be in student debt.

Why do you get to take my taxes?

Why don't you make them earn their own pay check?

Government you have alot to learn.

Because of you, we are a nation burned.

Get your head out of your ass.

I'm part of a generation you can't look past.

You expect hard work, limititation.

Put your words to work.

Make them earn a pay check!
