Where, oh where have my dollars gone?

Where, oh where can they be?

It’s useless to e-ven try saving some

’cause cong-ress steals them from me.

They give them tooo the Pent-agon

for wars a-crooss the sea

to profit the makers of war weapons

without asking yo-u or me.

If you’re rich, then you don’t have a care.

You will get tax breaks, you see

’cause wars are paid for by cuts to Med-i-care

and Social Se-cuur-i-ty!

Capitalists love their cor-po-ra-tions.

Their profits are almost tax free.

The only ones who will be singing this song

are working folks, like you and me!

As long as we letcorp’rate personhoodbe

cong-ress won’t serve you and me.

It must be denounced by our Consti-tu-tion

and themoney as speech fal-la-cy!

Where, oh where have my dollars gone?

Where, oh where can they be?

It’s useless to even try saving some

‘TIL CONGRESS REPRESENTS YOU AND ME!
