lyrics

The spill killed everything in the ocean
people don't go on vacation there no more
all the locals lost their jobs
but picked up work cleaning up their own shores
cut to a suit occupied on a cell phone
he presents a finger to someone who wants a word
he saying something about damage control
and how to spin it to come out clean afterward

Why are we still waiting to see how this ends
demoralizing how it happens again and again
be prepared when you flip to the last page
that narrative's bound to fill you with rage

They buried PCBs right over there in that field
and then dropped it in the water and poisoned the creek
they paid off the victims to make them go away
when it's a fraction of the profits they'll make in a week
you get dizzy if you stare at that revolving door
they come out get a job and are sent right back in
favors and cash for the government whores
people lose, Monsanto wins

They take your pension and your 401k
tell you you can make money from money an easy way
they just shrug after gambling it all away
while getting millions in bonuses on top of a raise
authority does nothing but placate
we get a dose of strong rhetoric and compromised spines
keep waiting for the masses to find their legs
and wield pitchforks and torches and take out this frankenstein
