Lyrics
First Verse:
Telling your lies to millions of fools, throw away your golden rules. Pockets full of corporate bribes, see the misery by your side.
First Bridge:
How could you forget about us, how could you betray our trust. How dare you forget about us, how dare you betray our trust.
Second Verse:
Since the beginning they've had their way, government turns the other way. Rich they have everything, politicians kiss their ring. Campaign money is all they want, sell us out for power and clout.
Second Bridge:
How could you forget about us, how could you betray our trust. How dare you forget about us, how dare you betray our trust.
Third Verse:
The ghetto is full of broken men, life times maimed by corporate sin. Men without hope, men without dreams, broken by the corporate schemas. America could be paradise, politicians tell their lies.
Third Bridge:
How could you forget about us, how could you betray our trust. How dare you forget about us, how dare you betray our trust.
