Libraries
©2004 Richard March


We're closing all the libraries
We're closing all the libraries
We're closing all the libraries
And locking hallowed doors

They're closing all the libraries
And doubling my parking fees
We're building prisons, on old school yards.

Laura used to love it there
Puppet shows and marble stairs
Momma used to take her there, every Saturday

Started with the picture books
After awhile she just got hooked Now we're
Closing all the libraries
You got TV, don't complain

We're moving all the companies
Far away across the seas
We're moving all the companies
Can't afford it, so they claim
Unions never done nothin'
But try and help the workin' man
We're moving all the companies
You got WalMart, don't complain

We're rollin' all the taxes back
We're rollin' all the taxes back
We're rollin' all the taxes
God Bless the USA
We're rollin' all the taxes back
Tearing up the high school tracks
Building brand new shopping malls
Where all the kids can play

Pull yourself up by your straps
Ain't my job to cut you slack
Can't you see I broke my back
Getting what I got
Nevermind my Grandpa Mark
He got a check from FDR.
Helped him through the hard times
But that was different, don't complain

We're closing all the libraries
We're closing all the libraries
We're closing all the libraries
And locking hallowed doors

They're closing all the libraries
And doubling my parking fees
We're closing all the libraries, you got TV don't complain
