Trickle Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Picture on magazine boardroom pop star Pinstripe prophet of peckerhead greed You say "Trust me with the money—the keys to the universe" Trickle down will give us everything we need [Verse 2] Brand new century private penitentiary Bank vault utopia padded for the few Tumours for the masses coughing for the masses Earphones for the masses and they all serve you [Chorus] Trickle down give 'em the business Trickle down supposed to give us the goods Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood [Verse 3] What used to pass for education now looks more like ignoration Take the people's money and slip it to the corporation Yellow rain golden shower pesticide firepower Summon feudal demons of sweatshop subjugation [Verse 4] Workfare foul air homeless beggars everywhere Picturephone aristocrats lounge around the pool Captains of industry smiling beneficently Leaking hole supertanker ship of fools [Chorus] Trickle down give 'em the business Trickle down supposed to give us the goods Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood [Verse 5] Take over takedown big bucks shakedown Schoolyard pusher of the anything-for-profit First got to privatize then they get to piratize Hooked on avarice—how do we get off it? [Chorus] Trickle down give 'em the business Trickle down supposed to give us the goods Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood Trickle down give 'em the business Trickle down supposed to give us the goods Cups held out to catch a bit of the bounty Trickle down everywhere trickle down blood [Outro] Trickle down
