Gilded Corporate Teats
One corporation, as many votes
As their influence and money can buy
Big pharma lobbies to keep weed illegal
While growing rich from peddling opioids
Big oil fracking their way to more filthy profits
Blocking alternatives to fossil fuels
Commercial banks securing their next bailout
Looking for new ways to bleed their client base
Greedy senators suckling from a gilded corporate teat
Like the einherjar drunk on Heiðrún’s golden mead
Disenfranchising the working class, immigrants, and minorities
Many lobbyists, the same special interest
Whatever it takes to get reelected
No new gun legislation
Thanks to palms greased by the NRA
No traction for a public option
Healthcare providers continue to deny claims
Minimum wage stays stagnant
Large corporations keep exporting jobs and reaping tax breaks

Capitalifascist State Apparatus
The tired and the poor
Will remain tired and poor
Until they learn how to exploit the system
Designed to exploit them
The tyranny of the 1%
Keeps the working class insolvent
It’s difficult to pull yourself up by the bootstraps
With a jackboot on your neck
Trust the invisible hand of the market
Pay no attention to the men behind the screen
It’s only big business clutching the purse strings
That fund Super-PACs and K-Street
The wolves of economic fascism
In the guise of capitalist sheep
The workers are fed lie after lie
About the correlation
Between hard work and success
And that merit will out
In their boardrooms the 1%
Are congratulating themselves
On record profits
And their stranglehold on the cost of labor
When the ones who control the means of production
Keep politicians in the pockets of their expensive suits
The state becomes an agent of capitalism’s abuses
Choking the free market, exploiting the workers
ECONOMIC FASCISM
