[00:40.80] |
Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law |
[00:49.22] |

He can live without so why can't we |
[01:19.81] |
After all they're just like you and me |
[01:27.42] |
They cast their votes and no one gets excited |
[01:35.30] |
Because they are Citizens United |
[01:40.43] |
|
[01:58.50] |
In the streets of the capital corporations are taking control |
[02:06.82] |
Democracy crushed at their feet |
[02:14.23] |
Money flows free from the sky to those who come along |
[02:22.57] |
Some way, somehow, we will prevail, but now |
[02:36.47] |

[02:44.79] |
How can we regain our freedom |

[03:08.75] |
To choose the way we live and die |

Main Street's boarded up now the whole town's asleep |
[03:23.94] |
The mom 'n pop got boarded up, a small business retreat |
[03:31.74] |
Sprayed Windows and broken glass, another car on the street |
[03:39.45] |

[04:31.52] |
|
[04:49.17] |
Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul |
[04:57.06] |
That's why they're like people just harder to control |
[05:04.35] |
They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you |
[05:12.88] |
Too big to fail, too rich for jail |
[05:25.93] |
|
[07:07.35] |
From the capital to the boarded-up main streets |
[07:15.44] |
Big Business is there at every turn |
[07:23.26] |
From the food we eat to the clothes we wear to the TV screen |
[07:30.05] |
From the air we breathe to the fuel we burn |
