lyrics

This is the most ill-conceived way of life of all time
we cling to it like a child, ignorant and wild
we oppose all others with a flag in our hand
to defend our bankers, our brokers our precious politicians
We cling to our freedoms as we tie ourselves down
to the most crooked system we've ever allowed
you're free to buy, spend, and sign to your name
your free to sign your god forsaken life away

God has blessed us with this corporate machine
unfeeling and callous it's the sum of our dreams
We value the dollar above our own lives
we banish the truthful and elect the liars.

I pay for ten you take nine for yourself
you threaten my family, you're building wealth
We pay what we owe a thousand times over
You hold the deed - I am the owner.

These great ideas run amok all over you
you were wrong again.
