Who says it has to be like this?
Tax the rich
With a debt ceiling falling in
Tax the rich
And a national economy bottoming out
Tax the rich
While the working class tightens its belt
Tax the rich
The yachting class is getting fat
Tax the rich
On subsidies for billionaires
Tax the rich
And oil companies
Tax the rich
Insurance companies rake it in
Tax the rich
While health care ceases to exist
Tax the rich
And education is being gutted
Tax the rich
While unions and immigrants are being blamed
Tax the rich
So that we can bailout the bankers
Tax the rich
With corporate welfare
Tax the rich
And global warfare
Tax the rich
Capitalization doesn’t work
Tax the rich
For 99% of this planet
Tax the rich
The system is imploding
Tax the rich
And the bombs, they keep exploding
Tax the rich
Tearing up our lives
Tax the rich
With the blood-thirsty shrapnel of their greed
Tax the rich
The measure of austerity is a grave
Tax the rich
No longer shall we be your slaves
Tax the rich
You can hear the drums beating
Tax the rich
It’s on everybody’s lips
Tax the rich
And it’s getting louder
Tax the rich
All together now
Tax the rich
And step forward into that brighter day.
