Corporations: the law of the land You played a good hand But I've seen The Cardsharps, and I understand Human nature's been a virtuous thing About as clean as the blood on your sleeves My legal advice is to cover your wings They're black as coal, and I can see the smoke Beginning to form, around them To take you back, where you belong The manifestations That you have selected Are rotten and stink I can smell your stench All the way to the Hamptons Money is power, and it smells distinct Meadow Lane is a curious thing Where y'all reside ostentatiously It's a wonder to me How you live undisturbed Flaunting your wealth While our children starve Children: can you hear me Listen to the wise man Your food was stolen and your houses foreclosed The ones who prospered are growing quite old For all of your life, they've taken from you The rights of the few, are about to come due And everything they've known, will collapse on top of them We are not blind, but we used to be fair Everything has changed And nothing Has changed France: 1789; we're still there, after all this time With nothing to lose, what holds us back The laws were written to keep us on track To keep us away from what we will earn The future is theirs, our subsistence spurned But we'll take it back, eventually The easy way or the hard way The choice is ours, all of us Inheritance is concrete We shall not budge, not even an inch From the demands that ripple off The arc of the moral universe The arc of history The freedom of speech is an unconscious dream A prisoner hidden, amongst what's seen We do not have the vocabulary To define our thoughts, brainwashed, and betrayed By those who sought to gain what we have Why does the law not protect us from that Solzhenitsyn once wrote When you've robbed a man of everything He's no longer in your power In the spirit of this, I am sad to pray That we grow stronger and wiser, by the hour The state is not your enemy It is the corporate system that controls the state Politicians are bought and sold yes, for sure But money is the lifeblood of oppression Not this government, not today at least Capitalism is but a means to rob you Taking all that you deserve There is more than enough to go around But search the top: that's where it can all be found At the top us pawns are frowned upon, laughed at even They do it to themselves, it is said Meager jobs, dirty clothes, or living in a tent Without opportunity, without education What an inconvenience to us Well, these are human beings And what you have done With your power and responsibility Is to deprive them of dignity Shame on you, shame on you all Have you no humanity? It would seem not to be the case If I were you I'd correct this wrong immediately, for your own good even For who knows what's to come at the end of the day When the dust has settled in this economic downturn Capitalism is full of crisis, and some of us suppose it's intentionally so Designed to keep us on our knees, designed to keep us appeased Your advertisements are phenomenal in how they distract Congratulations, you have done a great job Keeping us in the cave, where the shadows come alive Convincing us all that they are real Well I've seen the light, and the world outside It's a homeless woman of age seventeen Pregnant and scared out of her mind What on Earth is she going to do in this society Without resources, and what about her child It's the American reality, there is no dream anymore That was destroyed in an act of domestic terrorism against all of us, over the generations Capitalism, the American nightmare: to be bought and sold, here and abroad Outsource the labor, and take all the wealth The Heist Corporation is exactly that, and the law has its back The Supreme Court will decide, has decided, to side with them over us Citizens United. War is peace. Ignorance is strength It's been 1984 for quite some time The corporations won, they silenced the gun Destroyed the evidence and the rest They're taking us down, it's on TV Privacy policies are always the best But there's just one thing I'd say to you About these lies: about the truth of your disguise The rights of the few are about to come due
