Trickle Down

Lyrics

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
 Brand new century private penitentiary
 bank vault utopia padded for the few
 And it's tumours for the masses coughing for the masses
 Earphones for the masses and they all serve you
 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
 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
 Workfare foul air homeless beggars everywhere
 Picturephone aristocrats lounge around the pool
 Captains of industry smiling beneficently
 Leaking hole supertanker ship of fools
 Trickle down give me 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
 Take over takedown big bucks shakedown
 Schoolyard pusher offer anything-for-profit
 First got to privatize then you get to piratize
 Hooked on avarice- how do we get off it?
 Trickle down give me 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 me 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
