lyrics

JAMES MADISON

(The chorus is a quote by, James Madison, the 4th President of the United States)

Founding fathers free spirit men
Some grew hemp on their plantations
All had slaves but they didn't free 'em
All had slaves and some fucked 'em

Jimmy James Madison
Didn't give two shits about anyone
Polk's "Manifest Destiny"
Didn't work out for the Cherokee

"The purpose of the government
is to protect the minority of the opulent
from the majority"

Two party system
Seems like one
Gold at the top
And the rest on the rickety rackety rungs

We got the money, we got the guns
We got greed and idiocy
An embarrassment to everyone
With any sense of decency

"The purpose of the government
is to protect the minority of the opulent
from the majority"

Prying perverts police populations
Prisons populate
Prophets/Profits, predictions
Politicians salivate

Ellsberg, Manning, Snowden, Davis
Heroes and dissidents
We all could use a daily dose
Of civil disobedience
We all could use a daily dose
Of civil disobedience

"The purpose of the government
is to protect the minority of the opulent
from the majority"
