They don’t break the law. They rewrite it.
Welcome to the revolving door.
The temple’s been bought by the money changers.
The mechanism of the soul’s decay,
Regulators trading badges for a corporate pay!
The SEC is blindfolded, the FDA is bought…
A textbook case of capture in the web that they have caught!
Complexity is armor for the bureaucratic lie,
While the USDA lets the toxic harvest fly!
ANGRY! Can’t you feel the weight of the chains?
They’re pumping legal poison through our heavy, tired veins!
The casino’s always winning while the small man bleeds,
Sowing corporate welfare like a harvest of the seeds!
It’s a captured nation! A funeral for the free!
LORD! How much does it cost to buy the land of liberty?
Check the evolution, yeah, the New Deal’s dead!
Reaganomics put a crown on the corporate head!
The Chevron Doctrine gave ’em keys to the court,
Now the Citizens United made democracy a sport!
Telecom Act — ninety-six — the media’s a fist!
Consolidating power while the truth is being missed!
From the think tanks to the Super PACs, the money’s in the dark,
Leaving every single citizen a target and a mark!
But the cooling-off is coming! Yeah, the door is gonna jam!
GOD BLESS THE REBEL… GOD DAMN THE SYSTEM!
ANGRY! Can’t you feel the weight of the chains?
They’re pumping legal poison through our heavy, tired veins!
A captured nation! A funeral for the free!
How much does it cost to buy the land of liberty?
Abolish the deference! Restore the oversight!
Decentralize the power in the middle of the night!
Transparency is fire! The grassroots start to bloom!
Restoring the democracy… Reclaiming the crown!
TEAR IT DOWN.
