Everything's Raising from The Wages by The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band

Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
Gasoline, groceries, our ages
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
They say they’re bailing out some banks
I’ll take some of that money thanks
Too big to fail what’s my life worth
I can’t afford to get to work
And if my job’s there, when I do
You know, I’ll be happy too
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
Gasoline, groceries, and our ages
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
Big Corporations make the rules
They’re all crooks you know it’s true
Congressmen write the bills
The rest of us are broker still
You wouldn’t let a murderer pick his sentence
Don’t let them off just with repentance.
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
Gasoline, groceries, and our ages
Everything’s raisin’ but the wages
