Confucius say, pimp-slap, kick to curb
He who come with grand bargain
Neo-Confucian Wisdom In The Age of...Austerity
by Raymond Nat Turner
Confucius say, pimp-slap, kick to curb
He who blame China for Detroit...
Confucius say, pimp-slap, kick to curb
He who call you middle-class, but
Block six-figure future;
Confucius say, pimp-slap, kick to curb
He who come with grand bargain
Smelling like clean coal;
Confucius say, pimp-slap, kick to curb
He who come with talk of entitlement---
Entitle meant you work
Ass off, punch-drunk, punching in and
Out; almost square meeting more
Than four corners...
Confucius say, pimp-slap, kick to curb
He who say let Merrill lynch, let
Goldman sack, for one day he
Urinate on you from fiscal cliff---
And call it trickle down...
