RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT YOU <\/p>\n

They have got you right where they want you,
\nUnder their thumb is exactly where you are,
\nThey made your life just so totally impossible,
\nThat you were not able to even get very far.<\/p>\n

Oh, yes, they applied their financial screws,
\nSo it was either buy food or pay that last bill,
\nNow there is simply no breathing space left,
\nYour whole life is just one big struggle uphill.<\/p>\n

Indeed, they were so very sneaky about this,
\nAs they gradually took all your support away,
\nBut you see now you are dependent on them,
\nAnd must do exactly what the schemers say.<\/p>\n

Because if you should ever try to defy them,
\nThey\u2019re the ones who are holding a full hand,
\nMeanwhile they\u2019ve made you so vulnerable,
\nSo now, do you finally see and understand?<\/p>\n

They gave you many wonderful programs,
\nThat were supposedly to ease all your pain,
\nBut the actual truth of this devious matter,
\nIs that it was just for their own political gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
