I wrote the verse to this song at a different tempo, so it had a similar but more boppy cadence. Sadly, I realized that it sounded way too similar to a song “Stick Up” by Grandson, so I changed the tempo and riff. This one is really fun to sing. It's simple and angry, and I really love the way the lyrics sound in the verses.
Fox News will tell you that the ones that you should fear
Are people crossing borders, not the Proud Boys who are here
They tell that the immigrants are bringing doom and gloom
But the real threat to America is sitting in the board room
Complain about inflation
Well blame the corporations
Price manipulation
Just daily operations
You can’t pay your bills
Cause wall street kills
And now you learned your lesson
And now your learned your lesson,
no dreams left in America
Only golden parachutes for the rich in America
The stock market’s crashing cause it’s all a fucking game
the thing about recession is we don’t feel it the same
The wealthy and the privileged are still buying on a whim
While single parents struggle how to feed their fucking kids
With no safety net
It’s time to place our bets
Do we eat the rich?
Or just off with their heads?
You can’t pay your bills
Cause wall street kills
And now you learned your lesson
And now your learned your lesson
