The Greatest Hoax That Ever Lived

Lyrics

[Intro:] What's the price of life? What's the price of life? What's the cost of life? What's the cost of life? [Verse 1:] You're trapped in chains, bound to the exhibition The people walk by, they stare at your condition How can all you people be so willing to forgive The way you've been fucked over the table to run their business? [Chorus 1:] You'll cast your vote for the ones who claim They'll get the economy on its feet Then in the next breath they'll defend the fact That they're workin' with fuckin' Wall Street Well, what if I told you the only ones in charge Of keeping you safe Are receiving all their funding from the Ones who crashed the banks? [Post-Chorus:] Full force! Full force [Verse 2:] You're getting your checks, living a decent life What do you care if the rest of the world is in strife? You don't need to bother yourself with simple facts like those You'll vote for the candidate with the best looking nose [Chorus 2:] If the campaign ad has some fine-lookin' lads You'll eat that shit right up And when you're eating your fast food Don't you worry about the tip cup The world will fix itself in time Or so you tell yourself And when you're in a nursing home You'll wait for the world to fix itself [Post-Chorus:] Full force! Full force [Chorus 3:] Well, the world is fine, it'll be just fine Count your checkbook out, instead The lying politician Is the one who gets ahead They stand on stage and shill for corporations But they have nothing to give This traditional TV routine Is the greatest hoax that ever lived Ignore your neighbor's crying When she's struggling to get by Then go complain about Planned Parenthood And how another fetus just died [Post-Chorus:] Full force! Full force! Full force, ha ha ha [Segue:] Do you have any spare change?
