lyrics

If campaigns are only investments by pharmaceuticals, weapons and banks
Imagine the waste and their look of disgrace if all their candidates come last in the ranks
They'll steal your vote and shove it down your throat, deceive and thieve to sneak to the top
But we’ll spot a fake now that we're awake and our alarm is never gonna stop

Just gotta follow the money, we're sharper than knives when we see who'll be getting their cut
Together we'll lift Lady Liberty out of this rut

Divided and distracted by soap operas posing as news
Just desperate to sell us guns, liquor, cars and sweatshop shoes
If they leave us with nothing, I guess we've got nothing to lose

Oil and coal are gonna hit their goals, they're buying the EPA
With cameras and drones and recording our phones, we're spying for the CIA
They'll have the debate set up to spread their hate, promote the next resource war
Blow smoke up your ass to call you middle class, when you're the 99% that's poor

Just gotta follow the money, we're sharper than knives when we see who'll be getting their cut
Together we'll lift Lady Liberty out of this rut
Together we’ll lift Lady Liberty out of this rut
