Last night I heard tell of a patriot And mostly he is smilin' Like a president for the one percent Bank accounts in the offshore islands If I'm right I think I've been left Just an educated guess Conspiracy theories don't pay my bills Nor do trickle-down ethics heal my ills It's the talk of caring when outsourcing rules And they literally bank on a nation of fools Been a student of history, profit and loss The power of money regardless the cost The rich and the shameless focus on gain As long as we're buyin' they'll sell us the same
