The bulls are runnin, runnin the street
fist fuckin the American dream
whores for the money, whores for the fame
corporation contribution campaign
white collar, white crime
white man never do no time
take my land, steal my pride
but you'll never get this song alive
American dream dissolve yeah we've been defiled
but we cant help givin in
our patronage, our sin
truth, truth is the enemy they won't let us see
for our own protection
a thin veiled secrecy.......not foolin' me
the bulls are runnin the streets again
stacks of greenbacks in their hands
another deadline won't be met
Qe sera to the American debt
got yourself a business degree, put on a suit n' lie to me
sell em' high, buy em' low
till everybody livin' on skid row
American dream dissolve yeah we've been defiled
but we cant help givin in
our patronage, our sin
truth, truth is the enemy they won't let us see
for our own protection
fear is the ledge, united we stand...we stand
the air up here is so unclear
deep breath, exhale and push off from the ledge
here we go
corporate welfare to bail out the rich
while the rest of us are stuck in this ditch...come on!
the bulls are runnin, runnin the street
come on party people get up on your feet!
American dream dissolve yeah we've been defiled
but we cant help givin in
our patronage, our sin
truth, truth is the enemy they won't let us see
for our own protection
fear is the ledge, united we stand...we stand...don't jump!
Take from the many, give to the few
reverse robin hood economy not true
gold parachute, revolving door
D.C. lobbyists turn state senators don't jump!
That window ledge, is looking good
you should take a swan dive into the neighborhood
you represent, our malcontent
siphon every dollar from your constituents
The matador, his fatal plunge
the streets will run red, with the blood of the bull
now jump!
