Lyrics

And the Republic is destroyed There's more despotic than monarchy More insolent than autocracy More selfish than bureaucracy I see the near future crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country Corporations have been enthroned An era of corruption will follow And the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people Until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands And the Republic is destroyed There's more despotic than monarchy More insolent than autocracy More selfish than bureaucracy I see the near future crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country Corporations have been enthroned An era of corruption will follow And the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people Until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands And the Republic is destroyed
