A serious matter put to song with a driving beat to emphsize the relenlessness of our political structure.
Story behind the song
No story. Just a staement of the situation in Wahington.
Lyrics
v1
There's a game up on the Hill that
goes on and on
middle right or left
you have to play along
v2
Out of touch and out of sight playin the game.
candidates buy in.
Those with the big bucks win.
chorus 1
Who's coming to the table?
Who has the backing.
Who are the players
Who's going packin?
v3
Masters of the universe are making the rules
They say it's for us
but we're just the mules.
v4
Gamblin with the commons
that have been privatized.
They take profit from our needs
And fear socialized
chorus 2
Congressmen and senators
Making the bills
Answer to the lobbyist
And do their will
v5
Constituents are money bags to keep them in place
Catering to the players
To stay in the race.
v6
They blow lots of smoke
say they care
until old money bags brings them to bare.
