STOP!
LOOK!
Listen, please...

If they could only see,
Truly what their doing,
Have done to our economy,

Hold the phones,
Wait no one told me,
It would effect my family,

My dad is yelling,
Til' all blue comes to his face,
And I'm not sure what to do!

My mom,
Poor mom,
Trying to make a penny stretch into a dollar...

but no one is gonna stop, to listen, to hear, to look at ME... I'm no politician, but I'm more than that;

I'm the voice of a poor girl drowning in the pit of America's so called "Economy"
