TRICKLE DOWN
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. let's create a lower caste.
let's inflate the criminal class,
'cause people only want more
when they start with less.
robbing nurses of their purses
'til the curse
pervades this town...
then you will learn
all about
trickle down.
II. a voice in the dark resounds sharply,
shakes you in its teeth like shark feed.
burning sticky wet bleed
on your gown
will show you a thing,
a thing about
trickle down,
will show you a thing,
a thing about
trickle down.
III. you say this is a fickle town:
"fear stalks the streets of Trickledown."
and when you lie there
veiled in sweat,
you turn and reach for
your tourniquet.
you'll know dollars aren't
the only things
that trickle down.
and you will know
the truth about
trickle down.
