lyrics

Let’s think of something that’s really nothing at all
We’ll package and sell it to anyone who calls
The truth will be safely hidden behind the Wall
As they line up to give us all of their common cents

Let’s buy into the great games of today
On countries and countrymen we’ll make a play
There’s a chance that we may gamble our fortunes away
But for now we have no need for common sense

I’m popping the champagne,
My bonus just came through
And I don’t even know what I’m paid to do
You cannot see this coming,
If you’re watching cable news
You’ll have to bear the bullshit that we’ve been feeding you

Our thrills may cause a national heart attack
We’re broke, but green with greed and we’ll be back
We’ll write up a contract to put us back in black
That’s written in blood and paid for in common $ense

Just when you thought you had us,
It’s you who’s in the red
That sign outside your door means you’re left for dead
We’ve bought what’s left of the left
They won’t put up a fight
And we can depend upon the sacrificial right

There’s nothing we’ll give up that can help you now
We’ll take much more than should ever be allowed
We don’t answer to Congress, not even to the White House
No, just the white lady and the god of common $ense
