The Three Ps

from On My Watch by thinkspeak

/

lyrics

the millionaire billionaires don't hold with sharing
manipulate us with stuff like gay marriage
abortion deflects the fairness they oppose
tar us big spend liberals and get the fire hose
a little pepper spray billy clubs and mass arrest
if it comes to it bullets wouldn't be amiss
and if they buy the congress and own the courts
the pres is in their pocket they're fixed up of course
they own the media keep discussion narrow
hysterical right to somewhere short of middle
and when a crisis hits now's their chance to pass
laws that favor them that before had not a chance
they talk democracy but ally with the tyrants
all the rich together have to use some sense
to keep the three Ps privilege profits power
in their hands the rest can run their mower
and shine their boots and serve their meals and grow their food
and drive their cars and wash their clothes and stack their wood
fly their jets build their buildings day care their kids
fight their wars coop ourselves for their mantra
that they will rule and we will not
and they will thrive and we will rot
and don't forget god always so fine
they call opponents godless works every time
it's serious business this business-as-usual
gotta keep us dumbed down meets with their approval
cuz if they're going to own profits and power
and keep their place high in the privilege tower
some gotta be down for them to be up
that's the simple truth that keeps them in their cups
they have us pay the taxes for police to oppress
they'll put theirs off-shore the IRS can't get it
if we mention class they accuse us of class war
point out the welfare queen always worked before
they staff think tanks for talking points a day
repeat till we believe repeat it as we pray
and while they're at the golf course we'll be bowling
and while they're at the stock market we'll be howling
for stuff we think we need that they have fed us
TV big screen trinkets that they let us

the millionaire billionaires don't hold with sharing
they'll do what they gots to do to keep us Nike wearing
keep us not comparing keep us from staring
not notice how we're faring not notice
who rules for whose benefit
