Ticket 2 Ride

Bigger business, bigger love

Big profits, big dividend

Their fist, inside my glove

Less product, costlier spend

—

My tax bill comes, theirs do not

Giving millions in dark money

Strip the laws, CEO buys a yacht

Toxic skies, no longer sunny

—

Smaller box size, price hikes

Blame inflation or worker payroll

Stock buybacks, trading spikes

Record profits for the corporate soul

—

The brand logo says we care

Quality and service you can trust

Foreign labor, children beware

Jobs outsourced, earnings robust

—

PanAm, Enron, IBM, Sears

Don’t bank on a career

Job cuts, fueling your fears

Disposable and doubly insincere

—

Not your grandfather’s enterprise

Bottom line is razor thin

Prime for a hostile demise

Private equity wins again

—

Everything we value is sold

Merged, stripped, now history

Capitalist cannibalism extolled

Corporate love in all its glory
