It's the economy, stupid, that's what they say, Money talks, in the same old way. Hard work pays off, or so they say, But who really benefits at the end of the day? Wall Street booms, Main Street cries, In this game of life, who really thrives? Politicians promise, the rich get richer, While the middle class continues to wither. It's the economy, stupid, that's what it's always been, And as the saying goes, it's the same in the end.
