Lyrics Corruption - The Gaddabouts, Edie Brickell, Steve Gadd

Corruption

the people don’t want war but the corporations do
they hire politicians to get them to do what they want them to
they tell us it’s a necessity
put the propaganda on the t.v.
corruption
you pay your taxes and they give it to the man to buy a bigger gun
or it slips into the pocket of the mistress at the senator’s club
you barely have enough for your rent
got no say in how your money is spent
corruption
good people all over the world
the people don’t want war
they want peace and love and harmony
they write about it
talk about it
sing about it for centuries
the governments and the religions take the poor ones and they use them as pawns
corruption
