Baby I'm no economist

Maybe I ain't the foggiest

Stumbling my pretty words

Just lately there's something I heard

**\[Verse 1]**

If you check the federal reserve,

bottom half of the U.S. own 2.5% of wealth in the country.

Wages have been stagnating for decades,

billionaires are now a thing.

**\[Bridge]**

Billionaires make money by siphoning it

from workers and consumers,

then they hoard it or piss it around

on space races or mega yachts to hold mega yachts.

Baby I'm no economist

Maybe I ain't the foggiest

Stumbling my pretty words

Just lately there's something I heard

**\[Verse 2]**

They spend money to buy up every media outlet.

They spend money buying polticians

to prevent any government oversight,

dismantle consumer and worker protections.

**\[Bridge]**

They lobby like crazy to fuck over everyone else,

so they can hoard more money

than any person could ever spend or need.

Union busting is so rampant

that Amazon pulled out of an entire Canadian province,

after one place unionized.

**\[Verse 3]**

Meanwhile costs soar

and unfettered greed fucks people more each year.

All while their owned media,

tells people that the reason theyre paying vastly increased costs,

is because minimum wage raised 13 cents one year.

Baby I'm no economist

Maybe I ain't the foggiest

Stumbling my pretty words

Just lately there's something I heard

**\[Outro]**

So half the country blames minimum wage workers

or illegals for every single problem.

Instead of the companies and individuals

that blatantly exploit workers and consumers.
