1) Election time in the USA
Another example of pay to play
Thirty second sound bites makin’ crazy claims
Whippin’ up a frenzy with their advertising games
Big money pouring in like gasoline on flames
Democracy is up for sale, the price is still the same
Chorus
No bottom, hey, there ain’t no bottom
2) The rich are gettin’ richer, the poor just get abused
People in the middle payin’ way too many dues
Jobs are goin’ offshore, there ain’t much left to lose
Most of us are trapped here by the tightening of screws
Election time is coming, there isn’t much to choose
The right wing is the wrong thing but they control the news Chorus
Bridge
There’s no bottom in our politics, no bottom I can see
We celebrate the criminals and guilty men go free
Find someone to scapegoat, hang’em from a tree ‘cause there ain’t Chorus
3) The center has no backbone, the left is at a loss
Freedom’s hangin’ by a thread like Christ up on the cross
All these politicians makin’ deals out in the halls
Justice seems to have no legs, it barely even crawls
Everything is secret but the cameras on the walls
Come on people wake up, there’s things we need to shake up,
things we need to break up before darkness falls Chorus
