Laissez Faire
generally adored
this system fortunato
rarely abhored
maker of the ghetto
in a country hailed
by three hundred million hearts
covered if failed
with doctored charts
we hide the effects
defy the attacks
coming from rejects
lost with no chance
highest bidder, step up!
fight for your cash
and trample the Gallop
see? ain't no backlash!
we keep 'em down n' broke
what they got to take?
might be the stroke
or backyard snake
build my empire on your back
you slave, slave away for me
i cut your paycheck
damnit, don't cry when you bleed!
you're gonna stain my Persian
walk out of here and stay
i give you compensation
to keep the Wobblies at bay
don't try to organize
put those chains back on!
when you gonna realize
life ain't fair to a peon!
we switch it up now, boss
we take back the mic
you gonna hafta cut your loss
or we goin' on strike!
don't tell us what to do
we know what's ours to claim
and we gonna take it, too!
you didn't listen--damn shame
we want healthcare--swear it!
you've killed too many
we're gonna live--declare it!
no more big money
i'm gonna tell my kids to come
what corporations got wrong
tell 'em what is good n' done
apologize it took so long
you can have your competition
just don't shoot craps with strife
wheel n' deal to bold fruition
but give us liberty n' life!
--
pax.
