What Ya Gonna Do
A Rap Rhyme For a Bad Economy
What ya gonna do when the money runs out
What ya gonna say when the bill's not paid
How ya gonna feel when you've got no clout
Where ya gonna go when the savings fade
Oh it sucks
Just yuk, outta luck
As if you haven't tried
Working, oh so tired
This can't be the end of the road
It's not fair, you've been pulling your weight
You try so hard to carry your load
Not wanting handouts, but you can't pay the freight
Oh it sucks
Just yuk, outta luck
As if you haven't tried
Working, oh so tired
Where's the help; it's not there for you
Little guy not bailed, just set to fail
Must keep the family together with glue
Oh, the bureaucrats; heads in a pail
Oh it sucks
Just yuk, outta luck
As if you haven't tried
Working, oh so tired
Keep your little shop open till the end
Job taxes are high, you're on 24/7
Bills keep coming, on that you can depend,
Yes, you deserve that little slice of heaven
Oh it sucks
Just yuk, outta luck
As if you haven't tried
Working, oh so tired
But you can't just quit and walk away
Years of effort shouldn't go down
Part of your life shouldn't be thrown away
Should be rejoicing and toasting the town
What ya gonna do when the money runs out
What ya gonna say when the bills' not paid
How ya gonna feel when you've got no clout
Where ya gonna go when the savings fade
