we got people to the moon
atop a big ole rocket
we got a thousand songs
to fit inside your pocket
we got politicians
with perfect teeth and hair
we got flying robots
that can kill you anywhere
we got favors for the rich folks
and prison for the poor
we got rampant unemployment
and never-ending war
we got a bunch of cameras
watching everything we do
we got a Constitution
but it don’t cover you

Moochaholic money snatchers
Misanthropic power-grabbers
Avaricious Wallstreet bankers
Sycophantic KStreet barkers
The misappropriators
Down in Wastingtown
Take the people’s money
And spread it all around
Enterprisin keyster-kissers
Disbelievin merchandizers
Profiteering cluster-bombers
Homicidal problem-solvers
The misappropriators
Down in Wastingtown
Take the people’s money
And spread it all around

The thieves in charge
Just dangle some cash
And dirty politicians
Kiss a whole lotta ass
The game is rigged
In the USA
The American Dream’s
Been dealt away
Crooks and traitors
Keep getting paid
Send jobs overseas
And call it free trade
The game is rigged
In the USA
The American Dream’s
Been dealt away
Ain’t got no money
To fix our schools
We’re going down hard
Like a punch-drunk fool
The game is rigged
In the USA
The American Dream’s
Been dealt away

We’ll spend the people’s money as we please
Entitled to an endless building boom
Living in the District of Disease
We’ll charge a tariff every time you sneeze
We’ll tax your rest when you are in your tomb
We’ll spend the people’s money as we please
It’s still your country we just hold the keys
It’s still your cloth, but we control the loom
Living in the District of Disease
Be sure to pay your taxes and your fees
We need it to enlarge the endless room
We’ll spend the people’s money as we please
We won’t stop until you’re on your knees
Our project calls for universal doom
Living in the District of Disease
We squeeze and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze
And everybody else can suck on fumes
We’ll spend the people’s money as we please
Living in the District of Disease
