If you give a senator a quarter of a million dollars
you can dirty up the air
no legislation to stop it
and it’s almost if they don’t even care.

If you give a congressperson a quarter of a million dollars
you can hold up legislation
instead of paying your fair share.

If you give a senator a million dollars
you can build a data center anywhere
and get rich
while you dirty up the air.

If you give a congress person a million dollars
you can block public transit, affordable housing,
avoid taxes, and even stall universal healthcare.

It’s the United States
all they see is green
when in reality
We’re nineteen in happiness
and seventeen in actually being free

Happy 250
years America
I think you broke the spirit
of the working class
Something that took 250 years
is fragile
we’re seeing
it can crumble fast.
And no amount of green
will make people forget the difference between one and nineteen.
