We been choosin’ corp‘rate-funded leaders

who are all owned by the wealthy few.

Once in office they’re revealed as cheaters,

doin’ what their donors tell them to!

            This system’s made for rich folks

            for robbin’ me and you.

            Now we need to change all that

            and oust the wealthy few!

Trump is just the most disgusting of them.

But kickin’ him out won’t make our dreams come true!

We must change this entire effing system!

’cause if we don’t, democracy is through!

            This system’s made for rich folks

            for robbin’ me and you.

            Now we need to change all that

            and oust the wealthy few!

Only nation-wi-ide strikes and boycotts

will make it clear that we have power too!

If we stop makin’ and buyin‘ their products

it stops the profits they’re addicted to!

            This system’s made for rich folks

            for robbin’ me and you.

            Now we need to change all that

         and oust the wealthy few!
