White Middle Class American

I’m a white middle class American,
With three kids and a fucking mini van to boot.
Worked my ass up the ladder on my own time,
Quit that fucking job on the trading floor,
And told that big fat bitch of a boss to stick it up her silly lilly ass.

I’m a white middle class American
Born and bred on bullshit fed to me from an aluminum spoon
Made to feel like silver on a tongue of bacon and eggs.
From a mother and a father that came from nothing
And provided me with the everything
While teaching me to fetch some more.

I’m a white middle class American,
Working seventy five hours a week
To pay for an overpriced mortgage, overpriced car and an
over- priced - life.

I’m a white middle class American.
Staring out from my new meat colored deck
Into a backyard of all that green shit that I had been longing for.
Peering at neighbors of similar descent
Wondering if their shit is better than mine.
Or not!

I’m a white middle class American,
Spouting crap about how I used to be poor
When all I really know about being poor is not having two Mercedes in my driveway or no fucking driveway at all.

I’m a white middle class American ,
With no time or energy to enjoy my silly shit, that I worked so hard for, and prayed to god for.

I’m a white middle class American, who doesn’t have time for his kids , because I just gotta work and work and work and work.
Cause its all about the Benjamins, ya know?
And I don’t have a kid named Benjamin.

I’m a white middle class American , comparing my shit to your shit ,and his shit to her shit and their shit to our shit.
Wondering why my shit, ain’t as good as yours.
All this, as my shit gets old, and unused.

I’m a white middle class American,
Playing the lottery more now then when I had shit.
Shaking my head at the results,
Just wondering why “I” ain’t the winner.

I’m a white middle class American,
Masturbating daily in the shower because I ain’t got no time for making love to my pretty little wife.
Our brood crawling all over our overstuffed house like lice on a head of extravagance.

I’m a white middle class American,
Watching pornos in my basement with my wife, making love just as quick as a preview on my IO digital.
Because all our spawn are all sleeping in our California
King- Size- bed.

I’m a white middle class American,
Melding phones rings, and children’s screams into the same dazed off chainsaw of a sound in my brain.

I’m a white middle class American,
Overspent and overbent, from the pressures that society has put on me.
Or –so- it -seems.

I’m a white middle class American.

Feel. My.Silly. Pain.
