which I argue
is exactly 
the addiction
they have 
passed onto us
as citizens


and therefore
as honest and
forthright 
countrymen, etc.
should endeavor


to take things
into our
hands
invest
in each other


listen to
Woodie Guthrie
share with thy
neighbor
and 
so forth


coz
big daddy 
ain't 
gonna 
save
us 
now
