Profiting Agent

Here to set the record straight
Upgrade My Country is who you should hate
Filling you with dreams of change
Truth is their leader Tony Zorc is deranged

Do ya think, working in Washington is fun
'Round here, who ya think gets things done
Let me give you a little clue
It's the people like me and my crew

Now you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good

Now you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good

By now, you're probably wondering who I am
I work for people with money that are in a jam
Stupid laws are getting in their way
And politicians, they get paid to play

That's when, people like Bo hire me
They buy my services for a fee
I ensure the Congress votes their way
For there's now a big price they're willing to pay

But you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good

But you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good

My title, lobbyist, lawyer, accountant
Marketer, manager of a special nonprofit
Shape shifting is my specialty
I make sure the voters can't see clearly

I've been educated by the best
My ivy league degrees, make it no contest
Using my talents I can charge a high fee
Come on, I gotta live comfortably

But you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good

But you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good

As a college intern I got a taste of this town
I really like the weather here, it's nice year round
I could use my talents in another way
But our broken system of bribery is here to stay
I know what I'm doing is morally wrong
But the depth of our corruption is just too strong
But profiting off a broken system doesn't mean I've got a bad heart
It just means I'm smart

So, you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good

But you don't hate the player
You hate the game
For our country's dysfunction
I'm not to blame
A job somewhere else
Wouldn't be the same
Tell us why
It just doesn't pay as good
