lyrics

Such a Lie

Since the day that I was born
You’ve been blowing on that horn
And crying about the sky is going to fall
You say I need to give a little back
But something is out of whack
Cause you keep getting richer
And all I got is my back to the wall

So don’t you say you don’t got money
Cause everyone knows you do
It’s such a lie it’s such a lie it’s such a lie
Does that billionaire work
A billion times as hard as I do
It’s such a lie it’s such a lie it’s such a lie

You say the days are over
When the work of an honest worker
Could afford him a decent life and a happy soul
I’ve been drinking that sweet kool aid
While you’ve been getting paid
I woulda just declared a war on you
But you fired the first shot a long time ago

I love the U.S.A.
It’s rags to riches any old day
All you need is a dollar and a dream
You can put that lottery ticket
Wherever you want to stick it
I'm going to take back what you stole
And toss you into the deep blue sea
