I get tired of paying bills
That seem to never end;
When I get through a stack of them
They start right back again.
We bring them upon ourselves
Because of all our "needs"
Like Internet and mobile phones
To "connect" at such high speeds.
Others are quite basic --
Like water, gas and sewer --
But, things like cable television
Are paying for manure.
We work so hard to earn a check
They pay us for our time
So we can live the "good life"
That makes us feel sublime
But, really we're just working
For the electric company
And the bank that gives us credit cards
And charges us a fee
For having the convenience
Of living without cash
So, we can spend our money
In some mad life-long dash.
It's like we are just puppets
Dancing to a song
Played by distant pipers
For the growing throng
Consuming more
So all can see
We're one of them
In slavery.
