The Red and the Black

You know how sometimes it seems
Big institutions are all out to get you?
You voted against corruption and fraud
Not freeing them all to screw you

You know the spray-tanned unhealthy
Have stripped all your safeguards away
And you know the fashionably wealthy
Will never fight fair face-to-face

Anyone can buy any courtroom they want
The prices are right on the menu
You say you don't think you can pay -
Pardons for them and prison's in view

They say when you fall in love
You have to check with their "god above"
I said I chase my heart's desire
Save my worship for that kind of fire

Who owns your hospitals and schools?
Who owns your legislative halls?
Who plans your spending years in advance?
Who measures your life by dropped calls?

It's easier to keep your head down
Don't speak up now or you know
Zip-ties and razor wire's cheap this year
A bus to the camp, time to go

You know how sometimes it seems
Big institutions are all out to get you?

Now they are
