You Don’t Need No Help!

May 4, 2020

I Made it On My Own

 

Tell those rabble-rousers

Those pesky protestors

Tell them to get off their butts

 

Tell them to stop taking welfare

Stop living off my damn tax dollars

 

Tell them to go out and get a job

Plenty of jobs out there

 

Remind them this is America

Home of Horatio Alger

Land of independence

Anyone can make it

If only they try, try, try

 

Tell them how many times

Col. Sanders tried to sell his recipe

Before he got a start

1,010 times

That’s what!

 

That’s the spirit

That’s the kind of drive

That’s all about America

There’s no excuse here

For any other way

Unless you’re handicapped

In which case, we’ll just have to

Check you out

Make double sure

You’re not lying

 

God knows

There’s a lot of liars

A lot of lazy bums

Let’s deport them

To wherever they came from

Africa or Mexico

Or Islam

Wherever that is

 

You complain the minimum wage

Is only $7.25 per hour

That’s $14,000!

Get a 2nd job

Have the wife get two jobs

 

Then you’ve got it made

Save money

It adds up!

 

That’s the spirit

 

 

You say I had advantages?

I had help?

I was dependent?

 

Because I’m white?

Because I’m a WASP?

Col. Sanders was a WASP too?

Because I had good parents?

Because my uncle got me a scholarship?

Because college was cheap back then?

Because good jobs with good wages

Were plentiful

Back then?

 

Nonsense!

 

Don’t try to hide behind

Such excuses

 

That’s what I’m talking about

 

That’s the attitude of a loser

That’s what’s wrong with America

It ain’t what it used to be

 

Listen to me!

 

I’m talking to you!

P.S. I actually know people who feel this way!
