Ticket 2 Ride

Greed is my idol, all shiny and seductive

What I seek is a billion or trillion

Because millionaires are a dime a dozen

Hurrah for the super yachts

Cruising faster than 70 knots

Hail to the rich, owning most of the wealth

Hail to the rich, controlling the commonwealth

For now, the air is still free to breathe

Private equity is the name of the game

Another day, edging closer to autocracy

Pushing their chosen candidates

To remake our society

Hail to the rich, who needs free choice

Hail to the rich, speaking with their voice

Cover your eyes Lady Liberty

Dark money turns elections black

Pastors campaign from the pulpit

Preaching the alternative Bible

Who needs a thinker, just a puppet

Hail to the rich, making America hate

Hail to the rich, sealing America’s fate
