A Hip-Hop Protest song

lyrics

They're nickle and diming me to death
They're nickle and diming me to death
If you're looking for fairness don't hold your breath
They're nickle and diming me to death

Let me tell you a story
About a greedy politician
He's got his hand in the till
Never get his fill
Can't get enough of those hundred-dollar bills
He got elected
On a pile of empty promises
He's real good at telling lies
While talking out the sides
Of his mouth while poor people die

chorus

Let me tell you a story
About a greedy businessman
He's polluting the air
Causing problems everywhere
While he's sipping champagne in his lair
He wants power
He wants complete control
He makes all your stuff
Tells you, you don't have enough
And if you don't like it he gets rough

chorus

Let me tell you a story
About a lazy consumer
He's buying all their crap
He believes in bootstraps
But at their table he's left eating scraps
He believes in the system
That's consuming his soul
He wants more and more
But it's making him poor
He's so blind he can't see the door

chorus
