| You
hope the grass is greener up over that hill
You’re feelin’ not so happy, think you’ll take a pill
But Pharmcos sell products that’ll kill ya to cure
And buy them in the U.S. you’ll pay five times more
|

While you worry
‘bout your mortgage and payin’ your bills
You’re bailin’ out big banks and the Wall Street shills
The bankers all cry hardship don’tcha think it’s a crime
They’ll gladly lend you money at a dollar on a dime
|

So
pay attention and I’ll share some news,
This is a shakedown but it’s not a cruise
You better hold on to what you’ve got --
Even tighter if it’s not a lot --
You better hold on to what you’ve got

New
diseases seem to spring up nearly ev’ry day
You hope you’ll never need to take a hospital stay
PPOs take payments then refuse your claim
You’d think they’d be embarrassed but they know no shame
|
|
Warranties
are made to cover things that don’t break
Marketeer spin can bite ya like a snake
Your private information’s sold right and left
So now you get to pay to fight identity theft
|

So

This is a shakedown but it’s not a cruise

Bosses
drive you harder, know ya fear for your job
Congress thinks it’s hired to cheat and rob
They promise no new taxes while proliferating fees
Sometimes ya gotta think they wanta bring us to our knees
|
|
Our
greenback’s isn’t backed by anything that’s real
Lobbyists can purchase corporate licenses to steal
The rich increase their riches while the homeless just increase
Don’tcha think it’s time for these inequities to cease

You
better hold on to what you don’t wanta lose --
This is a shakedown, but it’s not a cruise
You better hold on to what you don’t wanta lose --
This is a shakedown, but it’s not a cruise
You better hold on to what you don’t wanta lose --
This is a shakedown -- but it’s not a cruise
