    Story Behind the Song
    I think money and power have totally corrupted American society and politics beyond the point of reform. I don't trust politicians or activists or any of their programs or legislation. The rich and powerful will always be able to find a way around, while the rest of us deal with more red tape and bureaucracy. I'm not advocating apathy here. I think political and social change starts on the streets. Being an activist in your own community working with the poor, volunteering, helping the animals or elderly, this sort of thing makes a real difference to real people every day. But all the politicians and legislation and coalitions of activists are full of shit and blowing hot air. Their proposals are like duct tape on an old shoe. Looks nice and works for a while, but it doesn't do much to stop the rot below the surface.

    Lyrics
    It's gonna take more than WD-40 to get this system moving
    Despite all the protests, this situation's not improving
    Bondo and a coat of primer will not conceal the truth
    That the rich and corporations are the ones that make the rules

    Not gonna change society, by changing politicians
    It'll take more than duct tape to fix this fucked up system

    Like a band-aid on an amputation, the reforms that you endorse
    Are more rules for the rest of us, but for the rich they're not enforced
    Politicians and activists with all your good intentions
    How come nothing changes after the elections?

    You say it's progress, to me it's more restrictions
    It'll take more than duct tape, to fix this fucked up system.
