"Let them eat cake."
To the poor with no bread
she might as well have said
Off with their head.
History has proven to us
Time and time again
That those without the money to spend
Don't always get the privilege to bask in the sweetness of life with no worry
Consumerist culture makes those lines blurry
Credit cards for the "middle class"
Just a band-aid on the wound
Minted shackles for those with no cash
Now a lot of us probably need a crash course in numbers
50 percent of the people having 1 percent of the riches
This inverted pyramid scheme just doesn't make any sense
Especially the part where some make all the dollars and some only cents
Resenting just makes this situation more and more tense
Then they want to talk about 47 percent
Calling people who need a hand up those with the easy life
just taking the hand out to hang out
but not really making anything out of this equation
This abrasion of wallet size invasion of the population
Circuses and bread when change is needed instead
Let them eat cake
Then off with their head
