THE LOBBY
SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN
ARE CONSTANTLY BARRAGED
BIG MONEY CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
KEEPS LIBERAL CAUSES BARRED
WITH BILLIONS STACKED BEHIND THEM
THEY THROW AROUND THEIR WEIGHT
INFLUENCING GOVERNMENT
AND POWERS OF THE STATE
ITS CORPORATOCRACY
NOT DEMOCRACY
KEEP CORPORATE TAXES LOWER
AND PROVATE INTERESTS SAFE
THE FIGHT FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
HAS SO MUCH MORE AT STAKE
ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY
AND NOT FOR YOU AND ME
BILLIONS OF BEN FRANKLINS
SPEAK TO HIGHER POLICY
ITS CORPORATOCRACY
NOT DEMOCRACY

TRADE OFF
You wanted to make a difference
You wanted to make it change
You wanted o work their system
so you had to play their Game
Your campaign rights and promises
Will get you where you want
Those shady deals behind closed doos
Your senate vote they bought
TRADE OFF THEYRE USING YOU
TRADE OFF THE TRUTH IS MUTE
TRADE OFF THEY TOOK THEIR TOLL
TRADE OFF YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL
You never thought youd Buckle,
Youd Never Sell your Soul
When was it exactly
you fell Into the fold
You wake up every day now
With a noose around your neck
Unable to say no to them
The lobbyists on your back
BIG BOX
My local shops all closed today
The big box stores are here to Stay
My shiny plastic branded town
is painted like a corporate clown
Starbucks took my coffee shop
Kinkos Quiznos, Doesnt stop
All My locals are closed up
and replaced by this mindless pop
Big Box, they wrecked my town
Big Box only store around
Big Box Cheapest place to shop
Big Box and theyll never stop
NEWS SHOW
I dont wanna hear it
I dont want to know
Im sick of all the bullshit
I cant take it anymore!
The Barometric pressure
Inside my head is high
I cant find the release valve
Im gonna loose my mind!
BRIDGE
Newsshow Were getting ratings
Newsshow this story sells!
Newsshow industry funded
Newsshow under their spell!
Branded Public Spaces
And public ad TV
Theres so many more stories
Theres so much more to see
And here we see pop stars lounging
In rehab on the screen
While Congos sexual genocide
Continues on the screen!
CHORUS
news show continued:
Its like were being sheltered
From all the worlds obscene
Like Siddhartha in the palace
It was nothing but a dream
Its all in hopes to sell us
A product or a cream
Continue on consumoing
Let the world go on unseen!
