Faith No More

Unregulated capitalist enterprises are slowly suffocating the American citizen/consumer, as one of said consumers this is my sentiments on the subject.

We can never succeed

With capitalism at the wheel

The wounds will never heal

Corporate greed

Makes the masses bleed

It feeds the machine

Up on the hill

Fresh from the kill

With hands wiped clean

Old men control the scene

And all we ever asked for

Was honesty and compassion

But that's long since out of fashion

You've closed the door
Left us cold and naked on the floor

We've got to fend for ourselves

When the government takes
What the poor man makes

They steal cookies from store shelves

To save face with Santa and his elves

Fat cats smoke from the pipe

While you sit and shiver

Waiting for big business to deliver

But it's all just hype

You're simply not their type

Market decline

Doesn't hurt when your pockets are deep

But how can you sleep

Acting like everything is fine

When you've crippled society's spine

There's a bit of a rumor

That big business lives to serve

But that's a title they don't deserve

To those with a sense of humor

They're more like an inoperable tumor

Politicians like to get in bed

With executives

Where the president lives
When the right words are said

They government will get you out of the red

Banks suck us dry

But they say it's just our imagination

When they talk of growing inflation

They dismiss us when we ask why

Interest rates are sky high

To them we're just sheep

Perhaps it's too absurd

To think we all don't follow the herd

Or that we have promises to keep

To those who's pockets aren't so deep

With blank stares

We look on in disdain

Don't bother to explain

Go peddle your wares

To someone who cares

We don't want your pity

We're not one of your corporate leeches

We don't care about your speeches
Just get down to the nitty-gritty

We don't care if you say something witty

You read bills like they're street-signs

How can you make it law

When you never even saw

The landmines

Hidden in between lines

It's time to fight the tyrants with an ideological war

Our sentiments echoed throughout the land

When we're ruled with an iron hand
And treated like a cheap w***e

We have faith, faith no more
