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
