lyrics

They said I’d fade and be forgotten,
they said I wouldn’t last the fall.
But I held the line, I stayed the course and I got the job done.
Now I got ‘em with their backs against the wall.

They banged their drums and held their banners.
Oh how they tried to get me to back down.
But money’s on my side as long as I appease my masters,
and I’m bringing some big changes around.

Don’t talk to me about inequality
For you are all equal in my eyes.
I’ve got top people now drafting a policy
to keep you all equally neutralized.

And don’t talk to me about wealth distribution
‘Cause man, that’s just not the American Dream.
It’s a centuries old tried-and-true institution,
the poor will stay poor and we’ll skim the cream.

They tried to topple me with numbers,
they cited their facts and made their graphs.
But I turned it around and made my own facts to work for me.
Now let’s see whose side is having the final laugh.

Don’t lecture me about education
We’ve got all the education we need.
Hard working people don’t need information,
Their station in life is to work ‘til they bleed.
Thank you for your support and I’m glad we’re all agreed.
