Robber Baron

"Of all things malign
An accident on the assembly line today
Cut him to the bone
But what can you expect from clumsy eight-year-olds?"
I'm told

Look outside the window
See the growing crowd of kids with missing arms and feet, nothing to eat
What cold, heartless beast can sit and have his feast
Every night, while their plight's always in his sight?

Robber Baron in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked and stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let, he's never gonna let us go

Marching in the streets
The mighty hammer of the Baron's own police
With their flags and guns
And guns, and drums, and boots
And blood-red banners, dogs, and guns

Black shirts pound the pavement with their bold insignia
Of wolves and bats, and snakes, and birds of prey
Filling us with fear, our hearts are full of tears
Who's so vain, for his game, causing so much pain?

Robber Baron in the castle
Basking in his greed
You know while he breaks no sweat and gets no hassle
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let, he's never gonna let us free

Robber Baron in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked and stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let-

What do you want? (Freedom!)
When do you want it? (Now!)
Only we can make us free
