Pedigree

by Sue Golden, London, England

your pedigree is first degree

it gets your jewels, your homes, your spouse-to-be 

it sooo fulfills your destiny

but to me in reality

yer glitzy smart amorality

yer riches, yer… ‘good ole family’

bankrolls a dark crimin-ality 

yer status is the epit-ome

of a system ruled by mon-op-oly

hey you, you heard of democracy?

hey you, give it some scrutiny

this pedigree, this first degree, this pedigree, this first degree 

rich law, poor law, ‘c’est’ la vie’

gain-no-loose, that’s the key

“take ‘n use!”, ”take abuse”, says the big drawee

mea culpa, who cares, tra-la-le

cos li’l people pay taxes, li’l people pay taxes, yes siree

yeah, an I’m workin’ it, I’m rakin’ it, I’m workin’ it an rakin’ it, big yippee

yeah I’m offshore with ma whore – ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, mi !

cos this pedigree gets ma do – re – mi

this pedigree, this pedigree, this pedigree wants you all to see 

the elite bluebloods, the bourgeoisie

the hedgers, the traders with fund and fee

the nouveau, the cartels, the oligarchy

sleep deep with stealth and hypocrisy

their yachts, their cars, their wealth’s entrenched in villain-y

cos this pedigree, this pedigree, this pedigree is first degree

this pedigree, this pedigree, is all about me 

its loaded with clout n’ certainty

the connected and the glitterati

they, upscaled , top of their tree

a la ‘Club Crook’, Cristal devotee

labeled n’ blinged and fly chi-chi

bonused with trophy n’ lotsa buckshee

waving platinum ‘n gold ‘n mastery

do dine and spend – ‘its-meant-to-be’

the mantra here is spree, spree, spree, - spree, spree, spree 

their ears so tuned can block the plea

“get off our backs, we’re not free

behind your ranks there’s slavery

‘cos while you fly, while you buy, while you fly, and buy, with impunity

were victims of greed, mere commodity

we’re laboured and trafficked, no dignity

no care for us, no liberty 
 

but the darlings high, blind, carefree

steel in their hearts, facades sugaree

do sign n’ sign:  “shit happens now don’t you agree

can’t do with too much contro-ver-sy

feel good, feel fine, raise mo’ bucks for yer chari-ty

go shrug, move along, cos my attention span is minus three

last thing one wants is enn-u-i”

so to ask the excessed, the indulged, gimme

to check the gap, the disparity

take stock, push change, help humanity

is a dream, is a dream, is a dream, for the distant employee

is a dream , is a dream, is a dream, for the distant em-ploy-ee

cos the pedigree is first degree

cos the pedigree is all about me

cos the privilege must go on with glee

as it rides, as is rides, as it rides, and rides and rides and rides

as it rides, as rides, as it rides on poverty’s misery

as it rides on poverty’s misery, as it rides on poverty’s misery
