Remember when 

            
America had a 

             
middle class a

d have been,
              
'Cause when th

            
ings were crum

              
bling, we had 

          
no camaraderie

, 
             
just a faith s

             
omeone would s

              
ave us from de

 
spondence.

 significance,

              
 authority and

 
 affluence.
             
We had turned
