You seem not to care
Spending all our money
Its really not that funny
Don't you have anything to say?
How much more taxes shall we pay?
Our economy is very low
None of our crops seem to grow
Bet you're living fine
We're shouting out
This bread is mine!
Not to worry
A cruel revolution is near,
So my dear King and Queen
Quiver with Fear!
