Aristocracy now! (While we’re all stuck hoping and dreaming)
Dishonesty now! (Of a world with the sunlight gleaming)
All I can see now! (Various dark forces are scheming)
Kleptocracy now!
Strip the tires off the public economy
Sell the scraps to private industry
Replace it with some corporate bureaucracy
(It’s a company policy)
High and dry and the sky fades into grey
‘Cause the ones we hoped would save the day
Ransacked and hauled it all away
Autocracy now! (While we were all stuck hoping and dreaming)
Monstrosity now! (Of a world with the sunlight gleaming)
Will velocity now! (Various dark forces were scheming)
Kleptocracy now!
Aristocracy now! (Time is gone, old glory has faded)
Brutal philosophy now! (It’s been plundered, pillaged, and raided)
Doomsday prophecy now! (Appetites that will never be sated)
Kleptocracy now!
Mass austerity now! (Wide-eyed, blind to dysfunction)
Wealth disparity now! (Lives of comfort, and consumption)
For posterity now! (Looking for the root of the all this corruption)
Kleptocracy now!
If I can see how
Kleptocracy now...
