Come on Down (possible new lyrics)

we’ll give you our money, tax all that you can take

drain from the poor, let the rich get the big breaks

then spend it to bail out the thieves and greedy ceos

wage war on the poorest, our streets filled with hunger

debt rises still higher as the working fall under

corporation are people ‘cept for having more rights and more gold


so much expectation, for this disappointment

with checks and balances and progress so disjointed

yet still we rely on the hill to make the law of the land

i’ve come to learn that you can’t elect a savior

the most good i can do is just to love my neighbor

that is unless they get deported by popular demand


if there’s still love in your heart for orphans

if there’s still love in your heart for widows

if there’s still love in your heart for anyone [repeat]

come on down


priests and kings and presidents

industry’s irrelevant

hope is where the lost are allowed to come home [repeat]

so come on down
