PlunderCo 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
They can live without so why don'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 capitol
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
Mom 'n Pop got boarded up
In the small business retreat
Display windows and broken glass
Not a car on the street
Down 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 capitol 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
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
They can live without so why don'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 capitol
