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
