Earned Interest

You take your money, you put it in a bank. They shove you sub prime interest, even though...you're clear of debt. You give them everything you have, they give you nothing back. They add a bogus service charge...they know, you'll never see, and there's your interest earned, all sucked away. 

You don't know where to put it, so a little bit returns...so you stick it in the mattress, or hide it in the attic. Your 'son in law' sleeps over and he finds your 'hidey hole'...and every little bit you saved, has moved to Idaho, 'city unknown!'. 

You lost the job, the wife has left. She took the kids. She got the house. She got the gold, you got the shaft. You just got paid, for two weeks, 'cutting grass'. You think, you'll 'stick it up your ass', but they'll find it there. You know, they'll find it there! 

You go to the bank, you write 'Fuck You! on the teller, then you check 'the evening news, and they're looking for the feller. They got Swat Teams out, 'their mission', squelch domestic terror...and that's 'you!' But you got lots of company...every dirt poor 'jerkweed' out there, including me!
