LYRICS
This is not about being political
It is about being analytical
The argument is bullet ridden
Should have been left hidden
Under the rock
From whence it crawled
Flabbergasted and appalled
Do the math
Go figure
Logic bath
Claim your
How do you account for it
If it doesn’t add up?

ABOUT THE SONG
This is a song about immigration.
Old, unhealthy… in fact, “dying slowly” demographics are/our not the soul-ution to your economic problems.
[hint: immigrants (both documented and undocumented are a substantial benefit with little to no cost.)]
As our population ages, we need young and healthier people joining the work force. They are the ones we need to fund our pensions, social security, medicare, health care, national debt, etc. Unfortunately, the people my age have squandered our savings. Now, we need population growth to save us. (e.g. Germany and 1,000,000 immigrants to help solve their problem.)
And then, there is the problem with low paid workers… right now the USA has a millions of low-pay jobs they can not fill. Mostly work that use to be performed by migrant labor that US citizens do not want to do. so, now that we can not fill the jobs with taxpaying, SS paying, etc migrant workers, businesses suffer losses. Perhaps we will find a few people to take the jobs they don’t want to do… and under-perform. More likely, the jobs will be eliminated altogether by AI and robotics. In any event, both a loss and cost for the US economy in the short and longterm.
