Talk back radio rant: The Middle Class Mortgage Blues


Published: Online can't find where, also Facebook


Save some dollars save some cents
All the pays gone on the rent
Keep the wolf from the door
(The joys of being working poor)
Make sure everything looks neat
Feed up the kids while you don't eat
Ensure the darlings are dressed up right
And that their shoes are not too tight
Lament the life you used to live
"Charity?  Sure!  We'd love to give..."
Mortgage soon on it's way
Another debt, more bills to pay
Refuse the handouts live on pride
Drag the pets 'long for the ride
As Pollies tell us what we need
Lining their pockets with their greed
Talk back radio and the cry of battlers
Making do in worn out rattlers
Only make one fifty k
"How can we live?" We hear them say
But everyday I just give thanks
That we've some savings in the banks
Some healthy kids who're learning fast
How to make their pennies last
And while I have a nice warm bed
A safe place, roof over head
I'll not complain about our bit
Even when we're deep in shit
So Mr Rabbit go away
We don't need your likes today
Telling us about our lives
Taking reality from "Desperate Wives"
"The broadband and the carbon tax!!!!!"
You really think we give a rats?
Just keep us fed, and keep us clothed
Then we're really home and hosed
A decent wage too would be nice
Buy our own bit of paradise
The Aussie dream will not foreclose
We'll vote out Pollies on the nose
