Lyrics

The Powerful Filthy Rich

Who runs the world who runs our lives
Who decides who lives or who dies
The powerful filthy rich

Who keeps prospering everday
Taking and breaking to pave the way
The powerful filthy rich

Time to stick it – stick it to the man
Take away these powers that be
Delusions of greatness – like some kind of God
Take away these powers that be
Destroying all humanity
The powerful filthy rich

Who buys politicians to change the law
Lobbyists pushing to win their cause
The powerful filthy rich
Who would never mingle with the masses
Who refuses to pay their share of taxes
The powerful filthy rich

Time to stick it – stick it to the man
Take away these powers that be
Delusions of greatness – like some kind of God
Take away these powers that be
Destroying all humanity
The powerful filthy rich

Who breaks the laws but won't ever do time
Who buys their way out free of any crime
The powerful filthy rich
Who really thinks that they're above the rest
Money and power is the only quest
The powerful filthy rich
