Buzz Ballad: Old White Men

Old White Men
—apologies to Stephen Foster and “Old Black Joe” 

Gone are the days when America was strong
Gone the days when public schools taught right from wrong
Gone the days of freedom that we enjoyed then
I hear “progressive” voices sneering, “Old White Men”

They’re coming, they’re coming, to stripmine cash again
To fund programs with what they take from “Old White Men”

Why do they seek to take what I’ve worked to own?
Why do they seek to reap where they have not sown?
Preferring to upon government depend
And sneering at maxims of thrift from “Old White Men.”

They’re coming, they’re coming, to stripmine cash again
To fund programs with what they take from “Old White Men”

Will they e’er learn that “free stuff” isn’t free?
That the price paid for “free stuff” is your liberty?
Or will they just demand more handouts again,
Be supported forevermore by “Old White Men?

They’re coming, they’re coming, to stripmine cash again
To fund programs with what they take from “Old White Men”
