lyrics

I don’t care if you need me;
You won’t care when I’m gone.
All I am to you is
A body for you to rely upon.

Go on make all your money,
Claim we choose our fate,
But listen up: the lower classes
Won’t be yours to manipulate.

All my people,
It’s a call to action.
In every decade, leaders
Are breaking and cutting us down.

Struggling mothers,
They don’t hear your plead,
But you belong here.
You’ve a right to everything
You and your children need.

Bad businessman, politician,
Your reign of Earth is dwindling.
Hey businessman, you don’t give back,
So now we’ll throw down the king.
x2

You’re about as sweet as salt,
But still, you’re successful.
You can’t see how they’re dying
And you don’t blink an eye.

Cause you’ve learned your calculations,
Equations of every kind,
But when you hear a crying violin,
That death won’t cross your mind.

All my people,
It’s a call for justice.
No more bedding made of
Cardboard and paper bags.

No more tear stains,
Blood stains on the ground.
Look down from your marble mansion,
Desperation doesn’t make a sound.

Bad businessman, politician,
Your reign of Earth is dwindling.
Hey businessman, you don’t give back,
So now we’ll throw down the king.
x2


Bad businessman, politician,
Your reign of Earth is dwindling.
Hey businessman, you don’t give back,
So now we’ll throw down the king.
x2

Bad businessman, politician
Making money off of prison
Hey businessman, you don’t give back
Off the gunfire towards us children

Bad businessman, politician
Off tobacco and low wages
Hey businessman, you don’t give back
Don’t try to change the conversation

Of the people
By the people
For the people
So now we’ll throw down the king.
