\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>A Storm Is Raging<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A raging storm is going on.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Attitudes coming on strong.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The government owes us a living.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Support me now. I ain\u2019t \u00a0fibbing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about money. The rich will pay.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hasn\u2019t that been the American way?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I will riot, destroy, pillage, and burn.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe then, you will finally learn.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t work, so I don\u2019t pay taxes.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t tell me I know what lax is.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe I was not born here.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe I was. Get this clear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You owe me. I don\u2019t owe you.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What is this world coming to?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Why should I go to Mexico?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is nothing but a hole.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The \u2018haves\u2019 should give.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

So that the \u2018have nots\u2019 can live.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

How dare you call me just a leach.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You need to watch what you preach.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then judgment came down from heaven.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They were left without any leaven.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They did not raise to a better life.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They went down with all the strife.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To burn till all was gone.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Purifying all that was wrong.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They were motivated by the wrong God.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Now they have paid. That is not odd.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

For what goes around comes around.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

For many, this lesson will abound.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They will miss out on what\u2019s really good.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just to terrify their neighborhood.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
