Lyrics
MAKE MY DAY
We used to be a big part of
The so-called Great Society.
Now, it?s all come crumbling down to
Thinking it?s either them or me. .
Who?s gonna take away,
Who?s gonna take away,
Who?s gonna take away
These old blues from me?
Who?s gonna make my day,
Who?s gonna make my day,
Who?s gonna make my day
So new and carefree?
What was Social Security
Is now theft of identity.
When stock markets bully our minds,
Soup kitchens can?t be far behind.
The cost of health care insurance
Has grown beyond our endurance,
While medical malpractice suits
Have doctors pulling up their roots.
Who?s gonna take away,
Who?s gonna take away,
Who?s gonna take away
These old blues from me?
Who?s gonna make my day,
Who?s gonna make my day,
Who?s gonna make my day
So new and carefree?
We benefit from more taxes
Like a forest from more axes.
More laws make for more lawbreakers,
Fewer givers, and more takers
Who?s gonna take away,
Who?s gonna take away,
Who?s gonna take away
These old blues from me?
Who?s gonna make my day,
Who?s gonna make my day,
Who?s gonna make my day
So new and carefree?
