lyrics

Corporations all hailing to the mighty dollar
Who then gives a damn about some pride and honor
Cause for profit they’d trade their sons and daughters
All for a larger string of successful quarters
boy they got the sacks, like goldman sachs
banks taking all the bailout money from our tax
we fear contagion, financial collapse
what’s the point, we’ve already been robbed, that’s a fact
Now who’d take the blame, responsibility?
income gap widens, hostility?
Cause all we see, is the futility
so set us free, show some humility

they place the wool on your eyes
they dress up in their disguise
you give up all control
and then you do what you’re told, what you’re told
lies told so bold
fake stories get sold
blind the lemmings with tricks
and watch them fly of that cliff now

So they treat us like the gulf coast
Like BP spilled all their oil down our throats
I would like to take tony hayward on a boat
And see how much time in oil he floats
Let the sealife extract revenge
Oh how crude you say, but don’t pretend
Wouldn’t you like to see a pelican bite his rear end
and that show, I’d highly recommend
cause in days like these, all we see is greed
in a day where we have less trees than factories
in the name of filling wants instead of needs
what sort of future will all these efforts achieve?

they place the wool on your eyes
they dress up in their disguise
you give up all control
and then you do what you’re told, what you’re told
lies told so bold
fake stories get sold
blind the lemmings with tricks
and watch them fly of that cliff now

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a capitalist
But I have a problem, with these asshole pricks
Who in their self interest, enrichen the rich
At the expense of the rest of us working stiffs
When all we want is to live comfortably
When all a student wants, is a salary
When a family wants, to live happily
When all the rich pocket cash from their companies
So I’m a lemming, sitting on the edge
With the masses, all mislead
Following orders, (yeah what he said)
I’d rather rap with my heart broke instead

they place the wool on your eyes
they dress up in their disguise
you give up all control
and then you do what you’re told, what you’re told
lies told so bold
fake stories get sold
blind the lemmings with tricks
and watch them fly of that cliff now
