My response to the economic crisis comes in the form of a song now on cd baby. “Unemployment & Greed”
UNEMPLOYMENT & GREED
Lyrics By: Larry Morris
Performed by: Powwah
Music Track: “Westside Story” Chad Morris
Publisher: Larry Morris Music BMI

Unemployment lines
One mile long
Plants closing down
People losing their homes

One President said
Just read my lips
Next time you vote
You better be hip


Mass Unemployment
At an all-time high
They say the recession
Is the reason why


People want jobs
Food to eat
Better health care
Will really be neat

Bank scandals and
The money is gone
While we the people
Repay that loan


Russia and China
Need some cash
While we the people
Recycle our trash


no jobs in town
nothing to do
No place to turn
No one to sue


People losing jobs
Feeling the pain
Killing fellow workers
Going insane

Working two jobs
All day long
Leaving the kids
Home alone

Watching the tube
Or in the streets
While the prices escalate
On the food you eat

Working two jobs
All day long
And can’t buy a home
Can’t afford the loan

So never look down
On those in need
You never know when
Your job might leave


Teachers
Taking cuts in pay
Because the union says
It’s the only way


News cast said
Just the other day
More cuts are coming
Without delay

Thousands
laid off this week
those that remain
their future is bleak

never knowing
what to expect
when this week’s pay
is your last check

Homeless people
Will work for food
Carrying signs
Of the economic mood

Corporate downsizing
Company greed
Trimming the fat
While everyone bleeds


Outsource jobs
Going overseas
And 700 billion
Is all that we need

I’ve said all of this
Just trying to say
That a few years is hell
Without no pay


Well sometimes you win
And sometimes you lose
But being without work
Ain’t nothing but the blues

Well that is all
I have to tell you for now
I know you’ll find work
Someway somehow

Stay in the groove
Because the world goes on
Make it happen for our selves
Because we are strong


If you don’t find work
Before too long
Hire yourself
You can’t go wrong

People of the world
Should stand up tall
Get down to business
And get on the ball

If we can’t help
The many who are poor
We cannot save
The few who are rich

Unemployment and greed
Is a terrible thing
So much unhappiness
It brings


Don’t let it get you down
And make you feel blue
It happened to me
And it could happen to you


Adlib….

Bailouts… corporate greed,
company greed,
from wall street to main street

If I sell enough downloads I will help someone that is unemployed. Thanks Extra.. American spirit at work.

In my opinion, we should of not gave in to Wall Street, Creditors or Banks the amount of money that the Government has given them already. I know it will take time but our economy is still messed up! One thing that upset me was that the other day, someone asked you a ? about how is it going to help the people giving these big cooperations all this money to save them, n I quote ” B/c it will be easier to give the Americans quickier n easier loans”…. We the People of the United States DO NOT NEED MORE LOANS! Thats how most Americans got into trouble.. Why not help the people by bailing US out! If you gave to the Americans we would pay our loans, our debts, buy groceries, buy merch, buy cars ect… I could go on forever! I wish I could say there is a right or wrong answer but its all in thw beholder!

Dude - you need to keep your mouth shut! You’re fear antics caused everyone to pull their funds leading to a greater plumit in the market. Emotional ranting does not help people. If you want to save your money - don’t follow emotional decision makers like this. Get educated!
