Lyrics
[Verse 1] Plunderco got in money trouble had to break the law Had to balance the fine against the benefit to all Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law Too big to fail, too rich for jail [Bridge] They can live with that so why don't we? After all they're just like you and me They cast their votes and no one gets excited Because they are Citizens United [Verse 2] In the streets of the Capitol, corporations are taking control Democracy crushed at their feet Money flows free from the sky to those who come along Some way, somehow, we will prevail, but now [Bridge] How can we regain our freedom Lost by our own laws we must abide When will we take back our freedom To choose the way we live and die [Verse 3] Main Street's boarded up now the whole town's asleep The mom 'n pop got boarded up in the small business retreat Display windows and broken glass, not a car on the street Out at the big box store people lined up for more [Bridge] People working part-time at Walmart Never get the benefits for sure Might not make it to full time at Walmart Still standing by for the call to work [Verse 4] Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul That's why they're like people just harder to control They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you Too big to fail, too rich for jail [Guitar Solos] [Bridge] From the capital to the boarded-up main streets Big Business is there at every turn From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the TV screen From the air we breathe to the fuel we burn
