Verse:
Well I turned 55 five years ago
and my age it was starting to show
I had plans to retire in may
and live off the money that I put away
but a man in a suit shook another mans hands
for reasons i cant understand
bout chapter 11 that sent us home in shock
with two months severance in worthless stock
Chorus:
The paper said that the man in the suit
got 10 million dollars and a pension to boot
apologizin from his house on the sea
it made no sense to folks like me
no sense at all to folks like me

Verse:
Not what i had planned for my retierment days
im an old man with a mortgage to pay
my wrinkles getting deeper and my muscles burn,
While another mans rich off the money i earned,
If I ever meet the man that stole from me
I'll look in his eyes and i'll grit my teeth
I'll say my names robert tatum but most call me tate,
and you'll pay dearly for the choices you've made,
Chorus:
Live in the land of milk and honey
Least thats what i hear every sunday
but they took my cows when they took my ????
cause they aint talkin to folks like me
no they aint talkin to folks like me
