To Be Too Do Be That Dumb
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
To be too do be that dumb.
Be that numbed.
To be too do be that dumb.
Be that stunned.
Disbelieving people,
Not believing what's done.
Even when around it to see it come.
To be too do be that dumb.
Be that numbed.
To be too do be that stunned.
Disbelieving what's done.
Here and everywhere people can not admit,
Politics and politicians.
Do not represent,
Them at all.
They are after power and the money.
With attention to get.
Here and everywhere
People have become,
Sick
And tired of it.
Oooo...
So many are not that dumb.
Or be that numbed.
People are beginning not to be that stunned.
Waking up to see for them,
What is being done.
And not to wake up in the morning to sing.
About their quality of life disappearing.
Then expected to pay a high cost.
More for what they notice is for them a loss.
Each day.
Taking saved pennies from a piggyback.
'Oh my!'
Some are heard to sigh.
'Oh my!'
Others start to wipe tears from cried.
'Oh my!'
Have we've been lied by deceivers?
Leaving us behind to delude?
Waking us up to stop being used tools.
Truth can be painful,
When it is believed not true!
To be too do be that dumb.
Be that dumb.
To be too do be that dumb.
Be that dumb.
No one can afford to be that anymore.
To be too do be that dumb.
Not today it doesn't pay.
To be too do be that dumb.
No one can afford.
To be too do be that dumb.
Nope!
To be too do be that dumb.
Hoping!
To be too do be that dumb.
Hoping for some changes made!
To be too do be that dumb.
Giving out of pockets not a penny of it,
Left to save!
Today there maybe some dumb.
To do that done.
But...
Not too many pinching pennies,
Can afford to be that crazed!
