From hanging men for stealing bread
To debtors prison cells
The rich who serve the public
First seek to serve themselves
Proclamations of emancipation didn't equate to equality
It's always rich men writing laws for poor men to obey
It's always rich men writing laws for poor men to obey
Their hands are in our pockets
Bastards on the take
Lobbyists and special interests are just legal thievery
It's always rich men writing laws for poor men to obey
Politicians passed the laws
With palms arms dealers grease
So businessmen can ship your job away overseas
Join the army, serve your country
And they'll ship you off to die
It's always rich men starting wars, for the poor to fight
It's always rich men starting wars, for the poor to fight
The weapons manufacturers handing out the bribes
Sign the no-bid contracts away from the front lines
It's always rich men starting wars, for the poor to fight
To debtors prison cells
The rich who serve the public
First seek to serve themselves
Proclamations of emancipation didn't equate to equality
It's always rich men writing laws for poor men to obey
It's always rich men writing laws for poor men to obey
Their hands are in our pockets
Bastards on the take
Lobbyists and special interests are just legal thievery
It's always rich men writing laws for poor men to obey
Politicians passed the laws
With palms arms dealers grease
So businessmen can ship your job away overseas
Join the army, serve your country
And they'll ship you off to die
It's always rich men starting wars, for the poor to fight
It's always rich men starting wars, for the poor to fight
The weapons manufacturers handing out the bribes
Sign the no-bid contracts away from the front lines
It's always rich men starting wars, for the poor to fight
