Yo Gov'nor
tell me "what's up"
I'm a Pennsylvania Worker
you put down on her luck
you been taking my taxes
funding your spending spree
Now you're asking for more
so where does that leave me?
I'm not addicted to drugs
and claiming my free ride
I'm not a mother of five
with another inside
and 16 percent
to fund political greed
trumps the wage increase
we so desperately need!
you raised our taxes
your first year in
what gives you the right
to raise them again?
you aint having trouble
keeping your family fed
you aint facing the winter
with the heating cost dread
you got no concerns
about losing Your home
Dawg, you remind me
of a hunch backed gnome!
you need to save
some money
to end this impasse...
why not lay off all
the people
who just sit on their
a$$
a person cannot drive
through a
construction site
without seeing
state workers
sitting left and right
and how about a cop
who lets a girl slide
a pennsylvania trooper
and she should have
fried!
the public should
be outraged
I'd have no doubt
if word of this
fiasco
ever got out
he said he smelled
marijuana
in the cab of her truck
he saw flakes
in the tray
talk about bad luck
he also stated
he smelled alcohol
she admitted to
drinking
bout 2 hours before!
no valid ID
to confirm the "I am"
for all he knew
she could have been
on the lamb
NO title, No pinkslip
a dead car plate
under the law
there should have been
no debate
but she passed his test
he said her driving was fine
all she had to do
was keep it right
of the line
that's not too
complicated
if you know what i mean
for a 40 year old
not young, blonde or green!
he then looked
her in the eye
and without respect
he said
"as far as I'm concerned,
you are a train wreck"
next she heard him say
through the
train wreck ringgggg
I'm gonna do you
a favor
not charge you with a thing!
the feeling I have
with regard to this stop,
is we are paying
yet another
incompetent cop!
and now i cant forget
to mention
state welfare workers
a bunch of
ignorant, incompetent, insensitive
jokers
rejecting our disabled
who are truly in need
while approving help
for Convicts,
who aint even on the street!
give me a break
what is up with that?
yeah talk about a system
that's gone totally whack!
so as you sit
behind your desk
in your fat cat suit
know the lies
in your eyes
make your words
quite mute
dont be telling us
stories
how you got it so rough
while you still stand
feeding
from the taxpayer trough
or telling us
stories
how you didnt get paid
like we are too dumb
to know
we are all
being played!
don't you think
it's time
to cut
your bulls**t jive
and tell us
PA workers
how we're
sposed to
survive!!!
