She's a hungry, barefoot little girl in tangled hair
Waiting for her daddy with her lonely stare
Standing in the door, only rags to wear
and no one seems to care
The USA has spent trillions of dollars on "the war on poverty." There are many social support programs available, including Food Stamps, WIC, Section 8, even subsidies for family members (it used to be a family responsibility but now they have their hand out). Free school lunches and school teache4rs are supposed to monitor children who clearly are in poverty situations.
And there are the local churches, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc.
How DARE you say no one cares. Many care, many pay.
Say a prayer for America
I thought you Lefty Socialists don't believe in God. Hypocrite!
Daddy got his orders and it wasn't long
The morning when he shipped out then he was gone
He said "you and Mom must find a way to carry on,
So help her all you can"
Daddy VOLUNTEERED for the Army. Mommy married (we hope) Daddy knowing he is a warrior. This is a moment of poignant triumph, not the "boo hoo" moment you would paint.
"Some say I fight for freedom for a foreign land
Some say we fight for oil and its all a scam
Write and send me pictures baby when you can
And show me that you care"
Find me 10 active soldiers who believe that. Also, if it was all about oil, WHERE IS THAT OIL?
This was an war to provide safety, and it has worked (anyone want to list the number of attacks on the USA since 9/11? Anyone?)
Daddy made it home but his wounds still hurt
The factory went to China and he can't find work
His unemployment dried up now he's gone berserk
And the company don't care
Businesses exist for one reason: to make profits. It is called CAPITALISM, something foreign to you pinkos, who were born with and will die with your hand out. The USA unemployment rate is still around 5.5%, which means we have a 94.5 EMPLOYMENT rate, one of the best in the world. It would be even higher if you bleeding-hearts would not coddle the illegals wo attack our very economic system. It is YOU who hurt "Daddy."
Daddy needs a doctor, he's a broken man
Like our Grandpa Jimmy after Viet Nam
He can't get help and no one seems to gives a damn
For the burden that he bears
The Veterans Administration is still quite strong, if not what it should be. The idea that no one cares is a fiction, designed by pacifists who would rather America be subjegated than to show real spine.
Show you care for America
Cast a vote for America
Yes, vote McCain instead of an effete, elitist, clueless, inexperienced (150 days in the Senate) speech-talker who is being handled by the extreme Left who want to make Anerica into Venezuela writ large (with THEM in the driver's seat).
Stupid, stupid, stupid Anti-American socialists.
