You must always remember
We were there for you when no one else was
We contributed money for your education
And when you were done
We contributed money for the jalopy you drive
Some of us own the steering wheel
Some of us own the tyres
Some of us own the dashboard
The seats plus the seat belts!
Even the engine!
The brakes and accelerator, inclusive!
Just so you remember
We own you
