Phony as a Two Dollar Bill

Red ink, it's from that era of Kennedy's
When the Treasury printed money
For those quick years, and then the Fed
Started printing it again.

An eighth grade girl gets arrested.
Nobody, not even the Principle
Understands about it, that it's real?
She gets booked on a Felony Charge.

Meanwhile, my HV/AC men come in
While I'm on a rant, and I tell them about it.
And they lay the added salt on the wound
That people are stealing, and not getting arrested.

It's a great metaphor for our current world...
The innocent get charged, and the guilty walk.
You'd think every child would have had the eccentric uncle
Who taught them these things, or at least the school.

Not in today's America.
