lyrics

CHORUS

WELL IT'S BEEN SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER
AFTER ALL YOU KNOW THAT NOTHING'S FREE
YES IT'S BEEN SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER
THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME

VERSE 1

TURN ON YOUR RADIO AND LISTEN TO THE NEWS
THAT IS IF YOU CAN STAND TO HEAR THEM SING THE BLUES
THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE U.S.A.
AND I KNOW IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL WE HEAR THEM SAY

CHORUS

VERSE 2

TURN ON YOUR TV SET AND LISTEN TO THE PRESIDENT
TRYIN' TO TAX THE OLD FOLKS CAN'T EVEN PAY THE RENT
LET'S FIND THE ONES THAT OWN IT ALL AND PUT THINGS BACK ON TRACK
THEY'RE TRYING TO BUY THE U.S.A. BUT IT'S TIME WE TOOK IT BACK

CHORUS

VERSE 3

TURN ON THE INTERNET THE STORIES THAT THEY TELL
DISTRACTION AND DIVISIVENESS AND ALL THAT THEY CAN SELL
THEY KNOW IF THEY KEEP US CONFUSED WE WILL NEVER SEE
THEY’RE TRYIN’ TO TURN THIS COUNTRY INTO A GREEDIOCRACY

FINAL CHORUS
