Corporate Takeover Lyrics

Money, it spreads like a plague

Through the halls of Congress, courts and the White House

The corporations invade

The will of the people erased. We've been sold out

It's a corporate takeover

Keeping the wages lower and lower

They maintain economic control

over all of us

Nobody should have to work

2 or 3 jobs just to have an apartment

Health care should be a right

Not a privilege tied to your employment

It's a corporate takeover

Keeping the wages lower and lower

They maintain economic control

over all of us

When does the minimum wage become a living wage?

There's no such thing as a free market when their thumb's on the scale

And who do our representatives represent? Not us

The donor class reaps the rewards

'Cause stock buybacks don't trickle down to the workers

And the gun lobby's calling the shots

Instead of being charged - accessory to murder

It's a corporate takeover

Keeping the wages lower and lower

They maintain economic control

over all of us

All of us
