PUBLIC DOMAIN PROTEST SONG

This song aint gonna sell
This song well it aint no hit
It’s a finger to the corporate hell
They own the news so it don’t mean shit
I pledge allegiance to Goldman Sachs
Under God and shadow PACS
Fox news and a wall of white noise
Confuse the girls and confuse the boys

Public domain protest song
Sing it free, sing it pissed, sing it strong
Boot the corporations out of D.C
Dirty money it’s American greed
Public domain protest song
Sing it free, sing it pissed, sing it strong
Support the unions and long live Wisconsin

It’s not the Left, it’s not the Right
It’s up and down and that’s the fight
It’s a world of loopholes S.O.S. save our souls
All we make is guns and debt
Watch some FOX and you’ll forget
Count it off 1-2-3 and play these chords A to D

Profits climb and jobs get shipped
Bottom 90% gets ripped
‘Right To Work State’, what a game
Right to fuck you is a better name
Public domain protest song
Sing it free, sing it pissed, sing it strong
Because of 30 years of Right only makes a wrong

It’s not the Left, it’s not the Right
It’s up and down and that’s the fight
It’s a world of loopholes S.O.S. save our souls
Paying of for the wealthy’s crimes
Let’s see some bankers doing time
Free market cost a lot If this ain’t hell it sure is hot.

COMPANY MAN

You got a millonaire’s fear on forty grand a year
You send your own job away
Then you cut your own pay
You watch a rich man’s news
You push a rich man’s views
You hate the working stiff and his nasty union dues

Company Man
You paid your dues you think you’re part of the plan?
Company Man
You’re on your own because the colors went and done ran
Company Man
You’re living high, but your income’s low
You got no power they just made you think so

You’d be king if your crown weren’t missing
You’d be a lover if it weren’t an ass you were kissing
These billionaires they wouldn’t let you clean their pool
Are you hanging with winners or are you just living with the fools?
You’d blow the devil for an office in a skycraper
You think you’re rich, but you’re just rich on paper
Businessman’s got a P.O. box in Antigua
He’s so excempt, he’s all contempt he’s always gonna beat you

Company Man
You paid your dues now you think you’re part of the plan?
Company Man
I’m sorry you’re on your own because these colors went and done ran
Company Man
You’re paying change at the raw bar
Company Man

You’re living large in your mind, but you’re just living with your kind
You’re in your cute little cubicle with your panda screen saver
But guess what? All those people that gave you your money they don’t give a shit
They don’t even know who you are!

WHAT DID YOU TRADE IT FOR?

Days when the answers weren’t so clear
You kept your heart open
Didn’t turn it off to fear
When the unknown was your friend
You lived hard and right
Spending money day and night
Without knowing how it would end

What did you trade it for?

You let an addict take the wheel
He led you down the wrong way
And now you’ve got next to no say
Yeah you’re on your own
You waved a flag instead of thinking
I know you stayed the course
But did you feel remorse?
Did you lose your way?

What did you trade it for?

A gated home and a trip to Atlantis
Lawn ornaments and glow-in-the-dark Santas
A bumper sticker and a lottery dream
Spray-on tan and a get rich scheme

Now the factories closed and the houses sold
I heard you spend your days blaming all them games
Yeah, you do as your told

What did you trade it for?

SOMETHING IN THE WATER

When is it not politics anymore?
30 in the clip, 3 dead more
Send them off to a liar’s war
No shame like a heartless whore

There must be something in the water
I see it blowing through the trees
You know, you know we must go farther
More ambien and shooting sprees

No decisions when you have no choice
It’s hard to talk when you’ve lost your voice
More cars, more guns, more pain
Another shot of dirty oil in the veins

There must be something in the water
I see it blowing through the trees
You know, you know we must go farther
The stars and stripes will set you free...

Free from me, free from anything
Anything you could ever be
Forget everything you ever knew
Because the facts they said weren’t true
Stained in blood red, white and blue
If I were you I would not be cool

We’re Americans...

There must be something in the water
I see it blowing through the trees
Yeah, yeah yeah Charlie Sheens your father
More ambien and shooting sprees
There must be something in the water
I see it blowing through the trees
Americans we can’t be bothered
You know, you know we’ll set you free
