How’s Venezuela Working Out For You?
As a teen I learned about the American Dream .
That if I worked hard I could be anything .
So I went to college to get my degree ,
And I kept a job so I’d be debt free.
It was a struggle I have to admit
But I kept on trying and I didn’t quit.
Though I never got rich I have what I need,
For my family right here in the land of the free.
But many were searching for a better way.
And a man rose up with great things to say,
How all should be equal in status and pay
To some it sounded like a glorious day
Created by a man who couldn’t compete
And barely gave his family any food to eat
Yet he’d end poverty life would be sweet
Many countries chose this man’s deceit.
Today socialist belittle the American Dream
our universities Hold them in high esteem
You are taught it in college to get a degree
And of course they think everything should be free
They demand we pay their college loans
And why should they have to pay for their homes
Those greedy rich folks they constantly scream
And the American dream they always demean
But many were searching for a better way
if they tried to resist with their lives they’d pay
Many tried to escape or starve if they stay
And if they got free what a glorious day
20 million killed by Stalin we mustn’t forget
Millions more killed in China and in Tibet
Thousands fled Cuba in boats its true
And how’s Venezuela working out for you?
Despite Their failures they still have their dream
To take over this land with their ponzi scheme
By brainwashing your kids as they go to schools
And Demean our founders as hypocritical fools
They’ll take all business, land ,Cars , and boats
And They’ll rig our elections with illegal votes
Fighting them won’t be PC you’ll be mocked on TV
And They’ll keep passing laws until you’re no longer free
First order of business take over the courts
Then Make it illegal to own guns of
Course
Belief in God they’ll want taken away
Till they outlaw God what a glorious day
With no incentive to achieve prosperity
We’ll all be equal in misery
Taxes will skyrocket , corruption will reign
And we’ll look like Venezuela all over again
So tell me all the great things Socialism will do
But first,tell me how’s Venezuela working out for you?
