Corporate Kings
This song is a history lesson and a call to action
The Boston tea party was not about taxes
Don't you believe it, here's what the facts is
The reason that Adams and Revere were so pissed
Is something that history teachers often have missed
You see East India Company had debts to pay
So the King and Brit Parliament looked for a way
To corner the market on the colonist's tea
Giving East India monopoly
But a group of patriots fought for a new nation
To set us all free from kings and corporations
Washington Jefferson Sam Adams Revere
Made a stand for values held dear
They said
We the people, we have the power
To take on all injustice, and make it right
We the people, this is the hour
To set aside all difference and stand and fight
If history teaches anything it's that we must resist
CORPORATE KINGS
Moving on to the Gilded Age
Rockefeller oil, Carnegie Steel
American tobacco JP Morgan rail
Randolph Hearst had the papers and opinions
They each had their union busting minions
But a group of progressives fought for the nation
To set us all free from kings of corporations
Teddy and the muckrakers Wilson and Taft
Busted up trusts and they hoped it would last
They said
We the people, we have the power
To take on all injustice, and make it right
We the people, this is the hour
To set aside all difference and stand and fight
If history teaches anything it's that we must resist
CORPORATE KINGS
CORPORATE KINGS
CORPORATE KINGS
"Corporate Kings" have changed through centuries
First there was one king and one company
The robber barons were kings of monopoly
Now a few globals want dominion over you and me
So Progressives must once again fight for this nation
To set us all free from corporate domination
Lakoff Chomsky Bernie and Dean
Must find a new message to say what we mean
We mean
We the people, we have the power
To take on all injustice, and make it right
We the people, this is the hour
To set aside all difference and stand and fight
If history teaches anything it's that we must resist
CORPORATE KINGS
CORPORATE KINGS
CORPORATE KINGS
