First they poison us so we can't think
with soft drinks and pharmaceutical drugs
then they outlaw the vitamins
and things that are good for us

They squeeze us dry make us sweat for the money
then they take it back
there is no hope for tomorrow
all we do is sorrow tryin' no to get too far behind

Why you
robbin' the people blind
what did they ever do to you
to make them feel the way you do
and to do these things you do

Who do you send to run the wars
that are fought for your benefit
bought and paid for by
the working people's deficit

So you could line your pockets
with your money and bad deeds
causing people to suffer
because of the life you lead

what will you do
when all is said and done
when your life is over
and your the only one
left to pray for your soul
that you left behind
who screams and cries,

Why you
robbin'
the people
blind?
