You never had to find a home
Or a car to drive to work
You never even grocery-shopped
Or watched the neighbor's kid growing up

You've never wondered if you'll find
A way to pay the bills
Or got a utility turned back on
After doing without it for a week

You never had to work overtime
Or more hours at a second job
Just in hopes of having the rent
Before the ten-day charge

You never had to sleep in a sweater
To make the oil last another month
Or figure out how to Do for Christmas
What a couple of kids'll call enough

You're basically not a human being
You're a third-rate piece of trash
You presume to think you know what's best
For people you'll never match
