Retread Nation

Retread Nation

We classify them as bums

Because they have no jobs

We call them vagrants

Because they have no homes

We label them drains on society

Because they fell through the safety net

We scapegoat them in our politics

Because they have no means to answer back

We wonder how they got this way

Because there are more of them every day

We see right through their existence

Because they make us uneasy

We know deep down they could be us

Because we are all disposable
