16. Work the System (1:46)
Work the system!
As a poor man
Without options, what's your choice?
No connections in this country
You're facing some tough odds

Work the system!
Get a handout
Catch a break when things get rough
No foundation or safety net means
You could fall right through the cracks and
Crash like penny stocks
What it takes to feed a family
Ain't asking a lot

Work the system!
As a rich man
Risk it all for all of us
CEO's with a lack of scruples
Still get bonused up

Work the system!
Get a bailout
Catch a break when you fuck up
Corporations write the rules and
Keep financial criminals from facing prison time
Do the wrong thing, get rewarded
It's what causes struggle and strife
Everyone's life hanging by a thread

Just one drop!
From that bucket would suffice
Just one drop!
Would improve so many lives
Just one drop!
From that fucking one percent
Just one zero!
Off their crazy dividends
Just one change!
In how the wealth is spread
Just one little drop!
Could put this to an end
