RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT YOU
by Bill Kochman

They have got you right where they want you,
Under their thumb is exactly where you are,
They made your life just so totally impossible,
That you were not able to even get very far.
Oh, yes, they applied their financial screws,
So it was either buy food or pay that last bill,
Now there is simply no breathing space left,
Your whole life is just one big struggle uphill.
Indeed, they were so very sneaky about this,
As they gradually took all your support away,
But you see now you are dependent on them,
And must do exactly what the schemers say.
Because if you should ever try to defy them,
They’re the ones who are holding a full hand,
Meanwhile they’ve made you so vulnerable,
So now, do you finally see and understand?
They gave you many wonderful programs,
That were supposedly to ease all your pain,
But the actual truth of this devious matter,
Is that it was just for their own political gain.
