Trickle Down

Picture on magazine boardroom pop star

Pinstripe prophet of peckerhead greed

You say "Trust me with the money—the keys to the universe"

Trickle down will give us everything we need

Brand new century private penitentiary

Bank vault utopia padded for the few

Tumours for the masses coughing for the masses

Earphones for the masses and they all serve you

Trickle down give 'em the business

Trickle down supposed to give us the goods

Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty

Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood

What used to pass for education now looks more like ignoration

Take the people's money and slip it to the corporation

Yellow rain golden shower pesticide firepower

Summon feudal demons of sweatshop subjugation

Workfare foul air homeless beggars everywhere

Picturephone aristocrats lounge around the pool

Captains of industry smiling beneficently

Leaking hole supertanker ship of fools

Trickle down give 'em the business

Trickle down supposed to give us the goods

Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty

Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood

Take over takedown big bucks shakedown

Schoolyard pusher of the anything-for-profit

First got to privatize then they get to piratize

Hooked on avarice—how do we get off it?

Trickle down give 'em the business

Trickle down supposed to give us the goods

Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty

Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood

Trickle down give 'em the business

Trickle down supposed to give us the goods

Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty

Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood
