Uncle Sam
Brad Van Conant II 1974 (Croswell)
Living large on his golden throne,
this “trustworthy” man has grown,
and grown and grown!
His love for money grows stronger
everyday, and taking with it, man’s
freedom to choose his own way.
Give him an inch and he’ll take
a mile, give him a dollar and he’ll
fake you a smile.
He’s a liar, a cheater, and he’s great
at master scams. This is the man we
call “The Great Uncle Sam”.
