Big Box
(专辑: The Monsanto Years - 2015)
Wonderco got in money trouble had to break the
law Had to balance the
fine against the
benefit to all Made a
business decision to pay the
fine and break the
law Too big to fail, too rich for jail He can live without so why can't we After all they're just like you and me They cast their votes and no one gets excited Because they are Citizens United In the
streets of the
capital corporations are taking control Democracy crushed at their feet Money flows free from the
sky to those who come along Some way, somehow, we will prevail, but now How can we regain our freedom Lost by our own laws we must abide When will we take back our freedom To choose the
way we live and die Main Street's boarded up now the
whole town's asleep The
mom 'n pop got boarded up, a
small business retreat Sprayed Windows and broken glass, another car on the
street Out at the
big box store people lined up for more People working part-time at Walmart Never get the
benefits for sure Why not make it to full time at Walmart? Still standing by for the
call to work Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul That's why they're like people just harder to control They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you Too big to fail, too rich for jail From the
capital to the
boarded-up main streets Big Business is there at every turn From the
food we eat to the
clothes we wear to the
TV screen From the
air we breathe to the
fuel we burn
