SUCH A WASTE

Leaders, callous and craven, each lining their pockets
whilst a billionaire pays to be flown in a rocket

Thirty five million dollars, that's what it's worth
to float upside down as you circle the Earth

What else could you purchase with all of that wealth?
squandering money enjoying yourself

No interest from saving a schoolhouse from closure
and helping the homeless provides less exposure

Private jet, brand new yacht and all of your bling
could fund ten times over, a hospital wing

But hey, who am I to tell you what's right?
I'm sure that you sleep very soundly at night

You don't need to wear more than one pair of socks
to keep your feet snug whilst you sleep in a box

The next time you eat will be breakfast in bed
and the leftovers ensure the dogs are well fed

Your investments are safe, plenty of cash
it's highly unlikely the markets will crash

Leaving you broke, sleeping rough on the street
where a kindly donation dictates when you eat
