BEER Group Read. real estate envy

[Fiona Shnapple]

We sure did leave a bunch of folk isolated, insulated, alienated, lonely,
all alone, abandoned, in jobs that can't get them out of poverty.

And the community that once hung together, ain't there but in a guilty
shadow of its old self.

That, no trip nostalgic, no it was better than, is gonna fool anybody,
cause we know it was not better when we was poor and struggling.

But at least we was there for each other.

Even in VL, we still had some of that.

But not in wuss BE.


So, no wonder folk wanna look into cl49, cause America had a choice back in
63-64, and it chose this path and this is what we got. All these rich And
this big class of doing wells, but we gots too many poor, too many.
