[…Forget what you’ve been told
Don’t be a fool
Real power
Belongs to you…]
I know you hate liars
Who won’t tell the truth
Running for office, promising change
That only we can do
It takes the whole planet
To bring justice and peace
When each one of us rises up
To reclaim responsibility
Don’t you wish the people would take - the - lead
And build a better government free, from greed
With power united, no longer divided
Why can’t we participate equally
And mediate to re-invent democracy, by
Free speech, free choice, free press, free voice
Consent of the governed (it isn't big money)
Determines the laws
There’s more to religious freedom than
You might have thought there was
By the right to petition
Free speech and free press
There’s not a single conflict of interest
That you can’t redress
When we build a government free, of greed
And exercise our right, to democracy
By free speech, free choice, free press, free voice
Don’t you want a government free - from - greed
Defending and protecting us equally
From power corrupted, no longer disrupted
[…Forget what you’ve been told
Back when you were in school
"Whoever has the gold makes the rules"
Don’t be a fool
Real power
Belongs to you…]
The big corporate giants
Built on our backs
Shamelessly demand civil rights
Because they know these facts
They’re made up of people
Like me and like you
Why let a few destroy
Think what greater good we all can do
When we run a government free – from – greed
And recognize our right, to equality
The people united, no longer divided
Don’t you want a government free of greed
Based on equal rights and true democracy
By free speech, free voice, free press,
It’s your choice
