537 Sellouts
300 million, only two boxes
Forcing us to choose between the lesser of two evils
Dem's and Republican's, a defunct system
Results in the dictatorship of the special interest
Corporate lobbying is nothing but bribery
Just a way of diluting our democracy
All of your rhetoric is nothing but hypocrisy
I won't stand to watch this happen any longer
Everyone knows that money talks, it talks a lot in congress
Without bulging pockets, you'll be cut out of the process
Leaving formal players to make all of your decisions
But first pay back those who financed their campaign
General Motors, Exxon Mobile, Raytheon, and Halliburton
Donate millions because they know their returns will be ten-fold
If your 18, not a felon, you can vote in November
I won't vote for any of you, you've all been bought and sold
Corporate lobbying is nothing but bribery
Just a way of diluting our democracy
All of your rhetoric is nothing but hypocrisy
I won't stand to watch this happen any longer
So what is it that we can do, are we worthless or
Can we rise up and resist against the special interest
Proportional representation, campaign finance reform
And let's not forget about gutting special interest
Eternal vigilance, price of democracy
But once we've lost sight of that
Once we've lost sight of that
Once we've lost sight of that
Then we suffer
One in the same
Forcing us to choose between the lesser of two evils
Dem's and Republican's, a defunct system
Results in the dictatorship of the special interest
Corporate lobbying is nothing but bribery
Just a way of diluting our democracy
All of your rhetoric is nothing but hypocrisy
I won't stand to watch this happen any longer
Everyone knows that money talks, it talks a lot in congress
Without bulging pockets, you'll be cut out of the process
Leaving formal players to make all of your decisions
But first pay back those who financed their campaign
General Motors, Exxon Mobile, Raytheon, and Halliburton
Donate millions because they know their returns will be ten-fold
If your 18, not a felon, you can vote in November
I won't vote for any of you, you've all been bought and sold
Corporate lobbying is nothing but bribery
Just a way of diluting our democracy
All of your rhetoric is nothing but hypocrisy
I won't stand to watch this happen any longer
So what is it that we can do, are we worthless or
Can we rise up and resist against the special interest
Proportional representation, campaign finance reform
And let's not forget about gutting special interest
Eternal vigilance, price of democracy
But once we've lost sight of that
Once we've lost sight of that
Once we've lost sight of that
Then we suffer
One in the same
