Big Box

Wonderco got in money trouble had to break the law

Had to balance the fine against the benefit to all

Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law

Too big to fail, too rich for jail

He can live without so why can't we

After all they're just like you and me

They cast their votes and no one gets excited

Because they are Citizens United

In the streets of the capital corporations are taking control

Democracy crushed at their feet

Money flows free from the sky to those who come along

Some way, somehow, we will prevail, but now

How can we regain our freedom

Lost by our own laws we must abide

When will we take back our freedom

To choose the way we live and die

Main Street's boarded up now the whole town's asleep

The mom 'n pop got boarded up, a small business retreat

Sprayed Windows and broken glass, another car on the street

Out at the big box store people lined up for more

People working part-time at Walmart

Never get the benefits for sure

Why not make it to full time at Walmart?

Still standing by for the call to work

Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul

That's why they're like people just harder to control

They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you

Too big to fail, too rich for jail

From the capital to the boarded-up main streets

Big Business is there at every turn

From the food we eat to the clothes we wear to the TV screen

From the air we breathe to the fuel we burn
