Tyrants
The news are on the radio,
the word is on the street
We have let go of the things we used to know
And the truth has skipped a beat
The money men have bought them now,
the fools are on parade
There is nothing that can bring us further down
And the clowns have got it made
Chorus
You would have thought that we’d get better
Smarter, brighter, wiser than before
We still need to keep the fight up
The rich are still the tyrants of the poor
They’re burning all our books again
The stupidity they hail
Had they known, they would be the better men
But they don’t know fact from fail
