They tell us job creators need bigger tax breaks
But the more they're given seems the more it takes
They say the wealth will trickle down to Main Street, but the
Only things tricklin' are the tears runnin' down our cheeks
|
Stash your profits off-shore, avoid the tax
When you're big enough regulators get lax
Crash the markets for profit, or rig the LIBOR
Get a slap on the wrist -- go back and steal a whole lot more
|
I'm issuing an A.P.B.
Alerting everyone to their thievery
They've stolen nearly everything we have
It's time to wake up, quit being had --
Get really mad
|
Our leaders say we're too broke to school our kids
Can't get our roads and bridges off of their skids
But we can spend a billion dollars for a plane that won't fly
Afford thousands of drones that make innocents and innocence die
|
Watch the nightly news -- a theatrical show --
Tells you everything you don't need to know
Then listen to the pols spoutin' tired memes
Distractin' you from seein' their much, much bigger schemes
|
I'm issuing an A.P.B.
Be on the lookout for chicanery
Mainstream media promulgates their lies
It's time to stand up, yeah, it's time to rise --
Open your eyes
|
Take a bullet in the back if you walk away
From doin' nothin' more than partakin' of the day
Try to blow the whistle on government crime
Be branded a traitor and do some very hard time
|
They're still spyin' on us citizens-at-large
Passin' laws to silence any climate change charge
Secret trade agreements have a hidden goal --
Yieldin' sovereign country powers to corporatist control
|
I'm issuing an A.P.B.
All across the breadth of this big country
The coup is nearly over -- don't you see?
They've changed all the rules for you and me --
We're no longer free
