about

Wrote this song right after the Wall St meltdown and right before the Occupy Wall St movement formed. Finally got a good recording of it finished and made a youtube video using public domain photos. You can see the video at youtu.be/hPSDb6TQOyE
Please feel free to download the song for free as long as you share it with one other friend (or more).
This is the first song finished for this album and we will be making more available as we finish the mixes.
Thanks for listening.

lyrics

Corporation Rules

So many of us crying......so many of us down
So many of us trying to find jobs that can’t be found
They take away our savings.....they take away all hope
And leave so many hanging from this cliff without a rope

CHORUS
While they blame it on the taxes and our schools
In this world where wall street robs us and the corporation rules
While we sail on this sinking ship of fools
In this world where wall street robs us and the corporation rules
The corporation rules

One time we had a future....but now that time is past
And now we realize that every empire does not last
We struggle to keep up now..... while laws are changed to please
To maximixe the profits of the corporate entities
REPEAT CHORUS

With no one to depend on..... so many are distraught
The system seems so broken and the politician’s bought
We’re only seeking justice to bring this truth to light
If only God could trust us to bring change and do what’s right
REPEAT CHORUS
