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!
