Got the Power © 2012 John Gazzano

I was born just like you.
I grew up just like you.
Somewhere along the way I got a break.
Since then I've taken everything I could take.

You might call me a lucky snob.
To me you're just a working slob.
Your best hope is that I like you.

'Cause I got the power, yes I do.
That's why I make the rules, not you.
I employ people, they work for me.
I run the government, they work for me.

My government is laissez faire.
They don't work for your welfare.
Your best hope is that I like you.

I can send your job offshore
If you don't want to be my whore.
Your best hope is that I like you.

'Cause I got the power, it's for me.
Just like my money, it's all for me.
How I make my money...not your concern.
But every dollar's a dollar I have earned.

Loser working middle class.
No count welfare lower class.
Your best hope is that I like you.

'Cause I got the power...case closed.
I'm the lucky one, and you got hosed.
I don’t pay the taxman, my money’s overseas.
I beat the law by using crooked trustees.

I own babes that want my money.
And every joke I tell is funny.
Your best hope is that I like you.

We go to war so I can earn.
We cut back services based on my concern.
It's my money, what I want gets done.
It's my power, the power of one.

To you it's the economy.
To me it's my profitability.
Your best hope is that I like you.
