I don't have to tell you that these are some hard times we're living in right now, especially for those who have lost their jobs. This song laments hard times. Written in 1929 by Blind Alfred Reed.

Well done, Dean. "All he gives is a humbug pill, dose of dope and a great big bill." Hard words, but somebody had to say it. "When we get our package home, little wad of paper with gristle and bone." No gristle here, just the clear vision of a man who was blind.
