Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

the political center

I got very little the bank owns it all

I recently got laid off from my job

 

looking for more work in security 

I’ve got my faith and my faith has me 

 

I get excited when he comes on TV

he says the things I need to hear 

 

he puts people in their place 

they’re getting ahead of me 

 

he’s a rich strong man 

I’m gonna be like him 

 

we got all these foreigners

coming round here

 

and then women 

and the blacks get funny ideas 

 

I might not be educated 

but I like what I see 

 

when he puts them all in cages 

he’s making it better for me

If you got educated then you would find,
Your view of those cages will become less defined,

The words from the man on the TV would sound different too,
He would sound like a liar, a fascist and cheat,
Whose wealth was gained on the backs of people like you,
And whose loyalty lies with the banks who own your stuff and the owners of the companies that laid us ALL off,

You would see what pain your bias will cause yourself,
You would see that we are ALL foreigners (except Native Americans),
You would see that all people of all races and genders are the same,

If only you got educated...
