Doing It For The People Lyrics

They stand up tall, hand on heart,

Swear they're here to do their part.

They kiss the babies, shake the hands,

Smile wide while they steal the land.

Oh, they say they're fighting for you and me,

Making life better—just wait and see!

They're doing it for people, can't you tell?

Lining their pockets while we live in hell.

You must be poor to change the weather, they say

The tax goes up, the wages stay low,

They say, "Tighten your belt—it's just how it goes."

They cut the schools, they cut the care,

But there's always gold for a billionaire.

They pass the laws that keep us weak,

They sell our lives, gettin richer each day,

They smile for cameras, lie with ease,

Kick backs from Masters in Foreign Lands

They're doing it for people, can't you tell?

Lining their pockets while we live in hell.

You must be poor to change the weather, they say

They're doing it for people, oh so true,

But the people they mean sure ain't me or you.

They take what they want, they sell what they please,

They keep you begging, down on your knees.

And they call it democracy... ain't that sweet?

Aint that sweet.

Aint that sweet.

Aint that Sweet.

Line up for Kickbacks, oh so sweet.

Aint that sweet

Oh so sweet.
