Lyrics
BIG TIME CORPORATE BLUES
1) War-mongers gettin' crazy, the economy's goin' to trashs;
System's goin' bankrupt while the big boys are stealin' the cash.
Every time I hear the news, I get the big time corporate blues.
2) They tell us "greed is good, if they don't keep expanding, they'll die;."
They got eight million lawyers with the best minds money can buy to tell you why.
Every time I hear their lies, I get the big time corporate blues.
3) They play with other people's money, they're like junkies with a monkey on their backs;
They keep their profits off shore so they don't have to pay any tax.
Every time I face the facts, I get the big time corporate blues.
[Bridge] Autocratic, plutocratic, thievin' fat cats,
Suit and tie looters, modern -day aristocrats;
Ripping off the people, tearing up the land;
When it's all for them and the rest of us be damned
I get the blues, I get the corporate blues.
Hogs in the boardroom, feedin' at the trough;
For that greedy CEO enough is never enough.
Ain't you tired of them ripping us off;
I got the big-time corporate blues.
4) They stole my pension, took my savings and my little nest egg;
They got these giant drug pharmacies, they try to sell ya relief for an arm and a leg.
When there's nothin' left to lose, you get the big time corporate blues.
5) They'll eat away at your rights like parasites; they're like a giant tape worm.
They got their names and their logos and their advertising every where you turn.
When it really gets me burned, I get the big time corporate blues.
[Bridge] Enron, WorldCom, Halliburton, Harken,
Every where you look them corporate hound dogs are barkin'.
Ripping off the people, tearing up the land;
When it's all for them and the rest of us be damned
You get the blues, you get the corporate blues.
They got no heart, no conscience or soul;
Grabbin' more money's the only thing they know.
When there's no where to hide, and no where to go -
You get the big time corporate blues.
