They came , they saw, they copied
We gave them every chance
We thought that we were rulers
But they had us by the a**
Exxon soiled Alaska, gas prices
Soon rose up
They say the U.S. cheated
So they took away the cup
(Chorus)
The poor keep getting poor
The rich are staying rich
This thing call the economy
Is a real son of a b****
The whole thing comes down to greed
Its easy enough to see
The country that has the wealth
Is the nation that will bleed
We conquer a dream in 69
Won the war in 45
Economically we struggle to survive
They make up all our stereos
Buy up all our land
But when it gets face to face
They need our helping hands
The loans they rape from our banks
Will never be repaid
Our cities suffer in poverty awaiting final fate
They make up all our stereos
Buy up our land
But everyone must live in peace
No need to die in violence
We gave them every chance
We thought that we were rulers
But they had us by the a**
Exxon soiled Alaska, gas prices
Soon rose up
They say the U.S. cheated
So they took away the cup
(Chorus)
The poor keep getting poor
The rich are staying rich
This thing call the economy
Is a real son of a b****
The whole thing comes down to greed
Its easy enough to see
The country that has the wealth
Is the nation that will bleed
We conquer a dream in 69
Won the war in 45
Economically we struggle to survive
They make up all our stereos
Buy up all our land
But when it gets face to face
They need our helping hands
The loans they rape from our banks
Will never be repaid
Our cities suffer in poverty awaiting final fate
They make up all our stereos
Buy up our land
But everyone must live in peace
No need to die in violence
