Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wonderco got in money trouble, had to break the law
Had to balance the fine against the benefit to all
Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law
[Verse 2]
Too big to fail
Too rich for jail
[Verse 3]
He can live without, so why don't we?
After all, they're just like you and me
They cast their votes and no one gets excited
Because they are Citizens United
[Verse 4]
In the streets of the capital, corporations are taking control
Democracy crushed at their feet
Money flows free from the sky to those who come along
[Verse 5]
Some way, somehow
We will prevail but now
[Verse 6]
How can we regain our freedom?
Lost by our own laws, we must abide
When will we take back our freedom
To choose the way we live and die
[Verse 7]
Main Street's boarded up, now the whole town's asleep
Mom and pop got boarded up in a small business retreat
Sprayed windows and broken glass, another car on the street
[Verse 8]
Out at the big box store
People lined up for more
[Verse 9]
People working part-time at Walmart
Never get the benefits for sure
Why not make it to full time at Walmart?
Still standing by for the call to work
[Verse 10]
Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul
That's why they're like people, just harder to control
They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you
[Verse 11]
Too big to fail
Too rich for jail
[Verse 12]
From the capital to the boarded-up main streets
Big Business is there at every turn
From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear to the TV screen
From the air we breathe to the fuel we burn
